able centenarian I have
to shary
seen, and he is about the
eighth I have met,” says our
investigator. “His memory is won-
derful. The nearest that he and his family can come
to his age is 112 years. His family has never claimed him
to be over that age. The tax records that were burned in
the court house at Harlan gave the date of his birth, as
near as they could make it out, as September, 1808, He
also counts from the age of his first wife, who died at the
age of 107.
“John Shell cannot read or write, but for many years
he was an expert maker of flint-lock rifles. John Shell rifles,
marked with his private mark just behind the lock, are
prized by collectors.
“In order to get a consensus of opinion as to his
probable age, I thought it best to secure statements and
affidavits from members of the family and neighbors, who
have known him for many years. I therefore secured such
statements from Judge A. B. Cornett, T. H. Howard, attor-
ney-at-law, and W. B. Kelly, ex-United States marshal, and
others. These are among the most substantial and reliable
men of Kentucky.”
Extracts from their statements are given below:
