Excerpt from The Life of a Successful Banker
The subject of this sketch was born in North Carolina and, like Topsy, "growed." The oldest inhabitant having died, it was impossible to get further particulars on this point. It is, perhaps, just as well not to refer to his remote ancestors, he being in no way responsible for them. He represented posterity at that time, and was not like Bellamy, "Looking Backward."
