Life of Nathaniel High Tells Way of the Pioneer.

Montieello Herald. Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel High, of Wolcott, were in town Saturday looking after some of their town property here. Mr. High is in his 89th year and says he is beginning to feel his age. He has had a career of hard work and hard knocks but has accumulated a snug fortune in the course of it. Seventy years ago he left his old Virginia home with nothing but the suit of working clothes which he wore, and the story of how he worked his way in after years up through Ohio and landed in White county with money enough to buy a farm, would make an interesting book.
