Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Courier, January 15, 1881, p. 1
The item in last weeks Courier announcing the death of Eli P. Farmer was decidedly premature. It should have read Samuel McCalla, who died on the 6th inst. of old age, he being in his 95th year. Mr. McCalla was a native of South Carolina, but lived in this county over forty-five years.
