ANDREW JACKSON WILLIFORD - He was born in Edgecombe County, N.C. and was more than 81 years old. He and sister Williford were married more than fifty years. They raised two children to be grown. He was a good provider for his family and was very energetic and industrious, and was among the famous overseers and managers of lands in the palmy days of farming in Edgecombe county. He was buried in the presence of a large number of friends on the 10th day of this June. He desired to be dismissed from time and its troubles. /s/ P.D. Gold, Editor
