"Fairfield Ledger Weekly", April 27, 1881

THE LEDGER has heard of another old lady in this vicinity, and her friends think she is the oldest woman in the county. Her name is Mrs. Elizabeth DAVIS, and she lives in this city. She is a native of North Carolina and is now ninety-six years of age. Seven children have been born to her, and five of them are now living. One of the children is now seventy-one years old. Mrs. DAVIS sees without glasses, is sprightly and agile for a woman of her age and enjoys good health.
