121 Year Old Negro Returns Home After 70 Years
In Columbia South Carolina May 5 a 121 year old black man known as Uncle Butler claimed authenticity as the era’s oldest resident. He said he was born in 1813 in Greenwood County and flashed his third set of teeth while photographed with Governor Blackwood at the state capitol. A white driver, R A Sumner, said Butler lived in a cabin in Nashville Georgia and always boasted of South Carolina pride though he has been away for seven decades. He recalled the first Charleston to Hamburg railway and a barbecue for Pres ton S Brooks over state rights before the Civil War. A Greenwood trip and Ninety Six district search found no living relatives but Butler believed he found the old plantation where he was born. He planned to return to Georgia after packing a box of soil to be sprinkled on burial ground as a reverent gesture.
