    3. The Evening Times, Union City, Indiana, June 8, 1934 The following taken from the St. Cloud Tribune, published at St. Cloud, Florida, will prove of interest to our older residents: "James A. Hanlin, second oldest resident of St. Cloud, lives at the corner of 7th St. and Carolina Ave. Born in Stark County, Ohio in 1838, he celebrated his 96th birthday on March 23rd 1934. In early manhood he was a teacher and farmer and later engaged in the grocery business for many years in Union City, Indiana. For a great number of years he was the oldest ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Hanlin has always been very active and may be seen hoeing in his garden, or among his citrus fruit trees, except on a day when he walks out to the canal to fish a few hours. Formerly an inverterate reader, he is sorely grieved that recently failing sight deprives him of that pleasure. He served during the civil war in Company I, 17th Ohio Regiment. After living in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Texas, and having lived in St. Cloud for fifteen years, he declares Florida has the finest climate anywhere. Mr. Hanlin expects to leave next week to spend the summer art the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. J. Clark, in Indianapolis, Indiana." Mr. Hanlin was in the grocery business in Union City for a great number of years.
