From that time through more than eight decades she has watched the growth of Boonville along with the progress of North Caro lina. When "Aunt Salina," as she is affectionately called by all of her neighbors .and friends, first came to Boonville there were only about four buildings.

Addrem I— 0 Town. State I li — I,' I s die teens, being only 14 when the hostilities started in 1861. For her life's companion, Mrs. Speer chose a boy who at 17 was a home guard in the Confederate army. It was his duty to keep a check on local affairs, and to bring in deserters. His name was James Monroe Speer. Mr. and Mrs. Speer were married in 1866 in Boonville, where they settled down to a life dedicated to the task of building a home out of the ruin and chaos resulting from the four-year war. For many years, Mr. and Mrs. Speer engaged in the manufac ture of tobacco and at one time they had a thriving trade result ing from the manufactured weed that they were able to sell. Prices of tobacco then con trasted very greatly with the prices that farmers of today de mand for their offerings. The very best that the farmer had in those post bellum days brought him only about four or six cents a pound. To sell the tobacco that they manufactured, this couple took to the road with wagon and team, often employing salesmen to work the surrounding territory for cus tomers. Until she became confined to her bed last fall, Mrs. Speer had enjoyed a life that was full to overflowing with good health. In all of her life she had never had any serious Illness. This good health was reflected too, in the vigorous life that she lived. She could read, until the last sickness, without the use of glasses. Mrs. Speer has eight living children, 16 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren. Her chil- Thursday, March 2, dren and their residences are as follows: Pinfcey Speer, Dallas. Tex.; Mrs. Fannie Belle Howard. Annahelm. Calif.; Mrs. Lillian Royer, Los Angeles. Calif.; Oscar Speer, Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. Nathan Dobbins, Boonville; Aaron Speer, Boonville; Miss Merlie Bpeer, of the home; and Mrs. Emma Mot singer, of Boonville. She has been a member of the Methodist church here for over 50 years.
