carried away to die and his last breath
was drawn at the home of a relative
in Nansemond county. Rev. w. w
Staley this afternoon performed the
religious rites and the hermit's body
was laid away on his fathers home

troubles many years ago, procured a
bungalow my the LAKESIDE following q
divorce from his wife. He became a
recluse and never left the swamp ex-
cept on rare occasions to procure SIM
pie ratfons. Game and fish formed
considerable part of his diet
The hermit would sometimes con-
verse with sportsmen from distance
who sought him out for information.
as he was wise in ways of the wilds.
