Has Many Centenarians
~
Clinton, Jan. 2 – The discovery here of a colored woman 102 years old brings to light the fact that previous to the death of William Zimmer, a year ago, Clinton County had three centenarians within its borders, the third being Mrs. Catherine Moore, who died at Charlotte about a month ago. The latest centenarian to attract attention is the colored woman named Mrs. Bugg. Thirty years ago Mr. Bugg died and since then his widow has lived with a daughter.
