Transcription

Elijah Able, who resides in Northern Utah Territory, spent several hours here Saturday. He resided in this county, near Vallonia, 71 years ago, when there were but few white people in our county. He is 93 years old, but looks 20 years younger.

BHR Staff Commentary

Able was 73 years old. The newspaper mistakenly reports him to be 93 years old.
