The Landmark 1884
This article appeared in The Landmark, published at Statesville, N.C.

A LOT OF NAMES 
 
R.S. Templeton, Esq. of Barringer township, has gotten tired of hearing the 
names of Bob Templeton and George Templeton and Jim Templeton and John 
Templeton ETC. with which south Iredell has abounded for generations and 
according, when he founded a family of his own, he determined to vary the 
monotony. The first one of his children he named J. Will, the second, L. Rock, 
the third X. Ped, the fourth O. K., the fifth Y. Tell, the sixth X. Era and 
the seventh, Mary Virginia. The first, third, fourth and fifth are boys, the 
others girls, and there is just about two years between each of them. They 
were all baptised at one time by Rev. J. T. Harris, now pastor of the 
Methodist Church of Statesville.
 
Squire Templeton, while in town Tuesday, reported that the old hen which fell 
down between the weather-boarding and ceiling of his house and lasted ninety 
eight days without food or water, had the bad luck to be run down and killed, 
last fall, by a dog, while J. Will was gathering together the material 
for the corn-shucking supper. He is not, however, wholly out of poultry 
curiosities, having a gander which last year took up with a Cochin China 
rooster, which he favors alone with his society and which he seems to regard 
with reverential awe, attending upon his every movement and never failing 
to "holler" whenever the rooster crows.
