Falmouth Outlook Friday 9 Feb 1923 Vol. 16 No. 36 Pg. 6 Col. 3 A REMARKABLE OLD MAN Augusta has a remarkable old man in the person of Mr. Issac Fraysure, who will be 97 years old on March 22, 1923. He was born in Bath County March 22, 1826 but has lived in Bracken for about sixty years. Notwithstanding his advanced age, his mind is clear, especially on happenings of from 60 to 75 years ago. At the time James K. Polk was elected as president, taking his seat in 1844, Mr. Fraysure says his father took him to Owingsville to the election. At that time the polls were open for three days. Many of Polk's supporters came to the polls carrying polk stalks with the berries thereon, thus representing their choice for president. There is not much doubt but that Mr. Fraysure's good health and great age are due to the fact that he has always voted the straight Democrat ticket.

A little later messages were "caught off the reel" by sound only. Following soon after was the telephone, enabling a person to talk directly home or elsewhere with perfect ease. Today the radio steps in out stipping all, and puzzling the entire world. Days, weeks and months not necessary or needed in which to string wire, the radio using waves of air instead of wire. For instance, last Saturday evening, while sitting in the cozy home of Mr. David Criswell, we had the pleasure of listening to violin and piano music, which was sweetly rendered by musicians down at Atlanta, GA, a fact which hardly seems credible. This radio belongs to our friend, Earl Criswell one of the most efficient electricians we know of. Mr. Criswell is also an authority on the auto second to none. He, by the way, and his charming wife and baby, are visiting his parents here. ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS
