Another time I was there. He has a brother by the name of Jeremiah who lives in Oswego County. He was then there, sitting by Levi�s bed. He said to Levi, you know me don�t you, I am your brother? Levi replied that he didn�t know. Jeremiah asked �Don�t you know you have a brother in the Black River Country? You recollect me don�t you! Levi answered �yes�, I don�t know but I do.

Clyde Times Newspaper Thursday, September 17, 1914 Page 3, column 1 A Record to be Proud Of Cyrus Meade, who has been visiting his cousins, Mrs. George Stack and Mrs. Amelia Fee, returned to his home in Hebron, McHenry County, Ills., last week. Mr. Meade is 87 years of age, and came to Oswego County, the place of his birth, in July, making the entire trip from Illinois alone. After visiting relatives in Oswego County fro some time, he came to the home of his cousins here. While here, he and Mrs. Fee took a run over to Geneva, where they visited other cousins, among whom is Miss Rhoda Palmer, who is 98 years of age. It so happened that Mrs. Sidney Wood, of this village, was at Geneva at the same time, and the three �young people� had a regular old-fashioned visit together, which they enjoyed immensely. Their combined ages total 269 years. Word has been received that Mr. Meade made the return journey safely, and is now going about his accustomed duties, managing a dairy farm. The farm lies in the outskirts of the village of Hebron, and Mr. Meade has recently been offered $200 an acre for it, but he does not care to sell, because he considers that his investment, even at these figures, pays him well. He went west in 1853. Such a record ought to stimulate many younger men, who are making failures in their respective occupations, simply because they are not putting themselves into their work.
