Dies at Hennepin
Thos. Sams, aged Indian, died Saturday afternoon at his home one and a half miles southeast of Hennepin. While his exact age was not known it was believed to have been 108 or 110 years. Notwithstanding his great age, he got around like a much younger man, and was frequently seen in Davis, and was known by many of our citizens. He bore a good name and was well liked.

Mr. Sams was born in Mississippi but had lived in the Hennepin community a long time. He is survived by several sons and daughters who also live in that vicinity. His death was due to pneumonia and he was sick only about a week. His previous health had been good.
