A short time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac came to Waco and sat for his picture. In his hand he held a stick cut from the grave of General Andrew Jackson, which has been carried by him ever since. Mr. Brock is a dignified old gentleman, showing few signs of decrepitude. His family Bible is still preserved, and it shows that the date of his birth was written 115 years ago. Surely a few words from this remarkable old gentleman, who has had 115 years of experience to draw from, would be interesting as well as.. profitable. A lengthy biographical sketch is given of this remarkable old man in the Waco Times-Herald, December 4, 1898. A still more pretentious biography of this, the oldest living man, illustrated with a double column, .portrait, was given the readers of tile Dallas Morning News, dated December 11, 1898, and also the Chicago Times-Herald of same date.
