Ironton Register 31 August 1931
Uncle Bob Johnson, aged 90, a civil war veteran of Andis, this county, took his first motorcycle ride last week, and was thrilled by the experience.  He rode on the back seat of Eugene Webb's machine, and says he is ready to go again when invited.

Mr. Johnson recalls riding on a stage coach some 75 years ago.  He remembers when a buggy with rubber tires was a great treat, and the the first bicycle.  "I never thought I'd ever ride on a gasoline bike," said the aged man, but he did.
