Tribune says: “The race of giants is neither extinct nor confined to the tents
of the showmen. One of the sons of Anak, Mr. Frederick Decker,
of Ossian, Livingston county, New York, called at this office on Wednesday, and
paid his ponderous respects. Only 19 years of age, he is seven feet high, and
weighs 300 pounds. At will be clear, from this statement, that he is a stalwart
and proportionate person. Illinois State Democrat, Wed. Sept. 5,
