Description	:	Mr. A. G. Willis who lives near the Zion church, has been constantly chewing tobacco for seventy years. Two weeks ago was his eightieth birthday and the occasion was duly celebrated. Before the company was dismissed, Mr. Willis announced that on that day he had quit the use of tobacco after having been an inveterate chewer since he was ten years old. He is now apparently in fine health, but he is determined to live the remainder of his life without "chewing and spitting," so to speak.

(The Adair County News, Aug 16, 1916 page 1, col 4) Early Wednesday morning, Mr. Anthony G. Willis, whose home was just beyond the Zion church, crossed to the other side Had he lived until the 4th of next August he would have been eighty-two years old. He was a son of Judge Edmund Willis, who was prominent in Adair county during his lifetime. The deceased was an active farmer from boyhood until a few months ago, when his health, commenced to fail. He was honorable in all his transaction, a devoted husband, a kind father and an obliging neighbor. For years he was a consistent member of the Baptist Church and will be sorely missed, not only by his family, but by all the community in which he lived. Besides his wife and several sons and daughters he leaves one brother, Mr. H.P. Willis, near Joppa, and two sisters, Mrs. Caroline Jeffries and Miss Harriet Willis, of this place. The deceased membership was with the Zion Baptist Church, and the funeral conducted by Rev. O.P. Bush, and burial was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends. May God comfort the widow and children in their greatest sorrow, is the wish of the writer who knew the deceased, and for whom he had the profoundest respect, for many years.
