Dobbs County, NC – Miscellaneous – Stanley Monk Story

                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AN OLD MAN    
Wilmington Journal Weekly – 3 May 1867

A correspondent at Whistler, Alabama; writes the Mobil Register that 
there is in that neighborhood a gentleman who bears the name of Stanley 
Monk. He was born in Dobbs County, North Carolina, near Newbern, on the 
19th day of March, 1763, which makes him one hundred and four years old 
last March. He has been a man of extraordinarily fine constitution, and 
until within a few years past, would think nothing of starting on a 
tour of several hundred miles on foot; and make an average of fifty 
miles per day.
