      The Oldest Resident Gone

      We failed to learn in time to mention in our last issue of the death of Mr. Gilbert Chancellor, an old and esteemed citizen of the county, who died at his residence near Woodland a few days before Christmas. Mr. Chancellor was one of the pioneers of Freestone, having moved to this county from Butler County
      Alabama about 33 years ago. He was about 90 years old and was thought to be the oldest white man in the county. He was a high toned, honorable gentleman, esteemed by all who knew him. We have been unable so far to get any further particulars of his life.
