95 Year-Old J A Eller Still Active as He Nears Century
J A Eller of Davidson County, a Confederate veteran, celebrated his 95th birthday yesterday nine miles northwest of Point. He works daily, owes his longevity to faith and hard work, and predicts he will reach 100. He recalls Civil War service in company A 42nd Regiment Kirkland’s brigade Hoke’s division and notes Midway’s past bustle and a stage coach signal bugle system. He owns 200 acres, produced abundant crops last year, and keeps fit by constant labor and self-reliance.
