PIERCE KENT.  Ninety-seven years old, somewhat bent and stooped with
years of hard labor, but for all that lithe and vigorous.  This is 
Pierce Kent, gnarled and twisted oak of the Irish forest.  He is today 
the oldest citizen of Grant County.  He was born in the County of Cork, 
Ireland, May 28th, 1805, and migrated to America in 1832.  He came to 
Grant County and pitched his tent and made his home in 1841.  He married
Mary Elizabeth McAtee and raised six children, all of whom are now 
living.  Mr. Kent is a rank Democrat in politics, and a member of the 
Catholic Church.  He owns 100 acres of good land near Mason Station, in
this county, and is able, as old as he is, to do a fair day's work and 
ride seven miles to town horseback by himself.  He is good for many 
more years yet.
