Tuesday, June 2, 1903, THE MONROE JOURNAL (Union County, N.C.)
-Mr. Andrew HONEYCUTT, the oldest man in Stanly county, died last Friday, in his 95th year. The journal made mention some weeks ago of the fact that Mr. HONEYCUTT had bought a monument for himself and wife. He was a link between the present and the past, and was full of interesting reminiscences of the past. He had shot buffalo and deer at the famous Big Lick, years and years ago.
