The Milano Gazette, Saturday, March 13, 1920: "Captain L. Bedell was 80 years old Monday. No, not old but that much young. He's an octogenarian now, meaning he has reached his four score mile post. Among the other octogenarians in Milano are Rev. H. T. Hart who was 80 years old January 28th, also Mr. Boyd Taylor who was 80 years old last Saturday, and Mr. W. A. Ashley. All four of these men were soldiers in the Civil War and withstood the worst kinds of hardships during the war, yet they have attained an age in life that is really wonderful for the experiences they have gone through in early life."
