ALEXANDRIA
AUNT HAGAR, the old colored woman, aged 121 years, whose death was mentioned in yesterday's Enquirer, was brought to Campbell County by her master, Rufus Wilcoxen, from Virginia in 1798.
Sixteen years ago she acquired her second sight, which lasted only about ten years. About five years ago he became totally blind. She became so childish as to play with dolls and would amuse herself before losing her sight in making doll clothes.
She distinctly remembers of being a waiter during the Revolutionary war. She lived with her brother who is now nearly one hundred years old. Can any other county in Kentucky beat that?
