er on Cat Creek. He is the last sur
viving son of the late "Uncle Billy"
Deal, who came to Macon1 county
from Burke county at the age of
12 years, and who was among the
earliest settlers.
Mr, Deal was eight years old
when his three brothers enlisted in
the Confederate army in 1861.
None of them returned. He re
members many incidents about the
war and especially the ' hardships
and trials that were endured at
home. '
He also remembers three slaves

and Sam Deal, who were 'brother
and sister, later moved to Charles
ton, S. C, while James Deal re
mained with the family, for several
years. He now lives at West's

the Holly Springs Baptist church

pleasures is to have the news read
to him and to listen to the current
events and happenings over the
radio.
Mr. Deal is ' in good health and
rarely ever has to take medicine in
any. form. He claims this is due to
his regular habits of eating, sleep
