At 70 Years Old Dr. Few Gives Up Farming, 1917

“Dr. C. Few Has Done His Last Farming,” from the Nov. 7, 1917, issue of The French Broad Hustler

Rents 50-Acre Farm to B.C. Marlow of McDowell County, Who Will Move Family at Early Date

“I did my last farming today, was the definite statement of Dr. C. Few last Friday night.

The venerable doctor, who will be 70 years old next February, has decided to quit worrying with farm troubles and will make himself contented at his Henderson home thereafter. He has rented his farm near Hendersonville to B.C. Marlow of McDowell County.

Mr. Marlow will soon move his family to the farm. He comes with the reputation of being a farmer of progressive ideals. He has spent some time on the farm this fall sowing grain. The farm contains about 50 acres of land under cultivation.
