No request to be excused on account of advanced age from Willlam W. Ford, 2004 North Twenty-eighth street. who s drawn on the petit panel in the federal | court over which Judge Robert E. Lewis 1s presiding | A man of medium size, rather inclined to stoutness, with only a few wrinkles about the eyes to suggest % years. His hands are plump and not at all the hands | of an ola man. Smooth-shaven cheeks and a white moustache and beard, a natty blue serge suit, shoes with “bull- | dog’' toes, and a nifty brown felt hat, | are nutward signe of this remarkably young-looking old man. Of all the people | who have gazed upon him at the federal | bullding not one has placed his age higher than 65 years. Most of them say he ix as good as the average man at 59, while lanitor “Bill" Jones declares that | plente of “the boys™ at 4 aren't as good | b Among the jurymen in the last panel was a man of T4, who was also remark- ably “spry.” He served all through the Matters case and then after that long grind he went through the Moore case which lasted a couple of weeks. Willlam W. Ford s just as spry and | has put in & doszen more years upon | this planet. o itish Ancestry. There is & bit of a burrin Mr. Ford's speech that betrays his British ancestry. “Yes, #ir,” he remarked. ‘I was born in London on Christmas morning, 1829, I'm what they call a plum pudding in old England. “But I'm an American all the way through, seeing that my father and mother brought me to this country when 1 was six months old.” Willlam W. Ford has lived in Omaha forty-seven years and has followed the occupation of carpenter. “I left a job of sbingling to serve on this jury,” said the alm nonogenaria And this man who has spent nearly & century in Omaha in quiet and peaceful occupation, was, in the first thirty-five years of his life, a voteran of two wars, the Mexican and the civil, the very close personal friend of Sam Houston, quite well acquainted with General Taylor and intimate companion of Kit Carson He staked out many of the forts in the west for the government. It is stariling to talk to an apparently young man end hear from his lips about the happenings of times before the Mexican war. § i i i i H HE $ ! i £ | 55 8 i i t 2 i 2 - s 23 i £ 1] i .
