Barton County claims to have the oldest man in the state in the person of Henry Doerman who lived in Liberal. Doerman says he was born Jan 10, 1799, making him now in his 113th year. By special act of congress he has been granted a pension of $50. per month. He did service during the Civil War as a soldier in the Federal army. Those who know him say that he is apparently good for several years yet.
