The spelling <strong>of</strong> the name Sunnaville is phonetic* I don f t recognize<br />

the naiae and he couldn't spell it <strong>of</strong> course*<br />

When I called, he had potatoes that weighed at least seven pounds*<br />

They were laid out on the porch for sale* He had a small patch in his yard<br />

which he cultivated, and had gotten about ten bushels from it*<br />

has no idea <strong>of</strong> his age although he readily gives it as sixty-eight*<br />

memorized figure*<br />
