Ben Gillette Walks To
Town From Anvil Creek
Diggings On 80th Birthday
Ben Gillette celebrates his 80th
birthday today and walked to
town from his claim at Anvil
Creek to enjoy the occasion with
his wife.
Gillette is one of the few re
maining active pioneers who con
tinues to work his mine single
handed throughout the summer
every year. An accident several
years ago while working alone,
which crippled his leg, would
have retired most men of his age
but left him undaunted and young
in spirit.
Happy birthday, Ben, from your
many friends, young and old!
