Oldest Voter in North
Carolina is Mr. M.D. Allsbrook
The News &
Observer recently stated that the oldest voter in the State was a resident
of Harnett county, who was 94 years old and had always voted the democratic
ticket.
Scotland Neck can go our contemporary one better, for we
have with us Mr. M.D. Allsbrook, who is 96 years old, has voted for 75 years,
and has never scratched the democratic ticket.
Mr. Allsbrook’s oldest son is 75 years of age, his next 72
years of age, and the two others, the youngest being over 65 years, all of them
good and consistent democrats.
Three of these sons, together with their father, served
through the Civil War in the confederate army, representing their township and
state with distinction.
This we believe is the record, and certainly carries the
palm from the News and Observer’s
Harnett county man.
