Omaha Daily Bee, November 06, 1898
- Mrs. Bettie Carrolton and Mr. Alexander Ferguson, the two oldest people in Indiana, are brother and sister. They were born in county Tyrone, Ireland, in the 1700s and came to this country just before the war of 1812. They are probably the oldest brother and sister living in this country. They came from a family of nineteen, and though Alexander was not married until he was 60 years of age, he raised a family of thirteen, almost all of whom are living. Mrs. Carrolton raised a family of eight. They had a brother who died in Madison county several years ago at the age of 115 and another one who lived to be 103, while still another lived to be 100, and another 99. Their father was 93 and mother 99 when they died. They have both used tobacco and whisky and attribute their long life to its influence over the "ager" and shakes of pioneer Indiana.
