Mr. and Mrs. John McLeod cele brated their 60th weUding anniver sary last Saturday al'ternoon, with all their seven children, and with 26 of their 29 grandchildren with them at their home in the Eureka com munity.

John McLeod, who is 85 years of age, is probably the only living American whose father was born be fore the American Revolution. In an article in The Pilot of May 5, 1933, John A. Leland, then a mem ber of the editorial staff, wrote: John McLeod, Jr., lives in the EXi- reka section of Moore county, and is 79 years of age. He has seen this country pass through three major conflicts, which is in itself rather unusual. But the unique, the remark able, the almost unbelievable distinc tion which John McLeod, Jr. pos sesses, is that his father was born before the American Revolution. John McLeod, Sr., was born in Scotland about 1770. The "about” is authentic, since it is on his tomb stone. Soon after his birth he was brought to this country by hig par ents, who settled on what is still known as the McLeod place, near Aberdeen. The house which John, Sr. built when he was a young man, con structing it out of sturdy beams and limber held tightly together by wood en pegs instead of nails, is occupied (Please turn to Page 9) BRUCE H.
