They loved North Carolina and spent the re- tnainder of their married lives here. “We left Wilmington in 1921 and went to Gibsonville for 10 years and came to Christiana in Granite (Juarry in 1931 and then went to Bessemer City in 1940 and stayed there 10 years”, said Mrs. Mac. . visits back to North Carolina un til four years ago when one of her two sisters became ill and died a year later. The next year Though she loved all the places she lived and made lasting friends at all of them, Christiana was probably their favorite spot because they returned there after Mr. Mack’s retirement to live in a house close to the church. When he died only two years later, she went to the Lutheran Orphanage in Salem,Va. as a housemother to 32 little girls and after that returned to her home in Texas. But summers always brought Nl FOUR GENERATIONS-Pictured above are lour generations of the Wayne Wells family of Route 2, Kings Mountain.

After both sisters died, one at 9S and the other at 96, her niece insisted that “Aunt D” spend the winters near her in a little cottage she had fixed up for her mother. But summers and autumns she goes back to the family homeplace in Farmersville, near Dallas, where she’s neither afraid or lonely. “Mrs.Mac” doesn’t like televi sion. She watches the news and weather reports but had never heard of “Dallas”. She certainly would not be interested in wat ching it. She’s too busy reading, writing, and visiting the neighbors. “I’ve never been scared‘’,she declares, does her own shopping and cooks fried chicken, bMf or pot pies and simple menus. She used to do a lot of cooking in the parsonage. Does she drink coffee? One cup in the morning- and no tea, iced or hot. She doesn’t drink soft drinks, either and never has had a weight problem. Although she says she pro bably could drive a car, she doesn’t have her license now. She prefers to walk in her own neighborhood and when she goes visiting she takes a plane. “My ears gave me a little bit of a problem on my recent flight here,” she said. According to Mrs. Mc- Clanahan life is just better lived if you take it as it comes. A highlight of her visit in this area was the day she spent last week with friends at the North Carolina Lutheran Home in Salisbury. And Katherine Mauney has accompanied her on numerous other visits in Bessemer City and Greensboro. Mrs. Mac doesn’t mind living out of a suitcase for a while. She isn’t ready to head back to Texas yet. She hasn’t missed a thing. Nothing bothers a woman who’s been traveling for most of her 100 years and enjoying every minute of it. MRS. IRENE G.
