The Franklin Democrat, Friday, May 4, 1900, Volume XL, Number 44, page 5, column 2

MT. OLIVE ~ Andrew Pedro [sic] passed away Saturday morning at 2 o’clock. He was a curiosity all his life. He was one hundred years old and never weighed more than ninety-three pounds and for a great number of years only weighed sixty-nine pounds. He was supposed to be the oldest man in Brown county and for a number of years lived in a little log cabin on Salt creek. He was ambitious and possessed a fiery temper, yet he had but few enemies. His funeral took place Sunday at Sprunica graveyard.
