Ex-Slave Marks
Birthday Today
With ‘Nice Walk’
William Adams of Landisville, a
runaway slave, will read a “lil bit
co de Bible” and take a “nice walk”
to-
our
in celebration of his birthday,
day Thursday.
“When a man gets as old as I is,
son — he wants to do alot more
than dot, but he jist kain't.” Wil-
liam observed, summing up his age.
William says he will be 107 years
old. He has no birth record to show
it, but his claim has won the ac-
ceptance of his neighbors and Old
Age Assistance which lists his pres-
ent age as 106.
The frail old man says he fled
from a Louisiana cotton field dur-
ing the Civil War. Today, hardly
impressed with the fact he may be
one of the oldest men in America,
William “jist takes it easy like most
other old folks.”
Since 1932, Uncle Bill, as he is
known in Landisville, has lived in
a furnished building on the land of
J. C. Snavely, lumbermjan. He sub-
sists an old age assistance and the
help of the Snavely family.
Far from being helpless, William
works in the Snavely garden, car-
ing for the plants and vegetables.
While he usually eats with the
Sanvely family, he sometimes pre-
fers to “stay home” and “fry my-
self a little bacon and eggs.”
