HAVING THEIR OWN COFFINS MADE
SANDUSKY REGISTER (Sandusky, Ohio) - November 3, 1894 Issue Contact: Myrtle Bridges
Twins named McLean from Harnett county, NC, 86 years old, visited Raleigh on Wednesday on a queer mission. This was to buy copper of which to have their coffins made. They are now in fine health and are the oldest twins in North Carolina. They were quaintly dressed, one having on a richly embroidered vest he has worn for 42 years. -Baltimore Sun.
