The Leatherman Gets a New Burial
The Leatherman was given a new burial this week.
In 1889 this mysterious man who I've talked about on AncestorsAtRest in an earlier blog post, died and was buried at the side of the road. For years he had wandered the country from New York to Connecticut. Earlier this week his remains were dug up and what was found was reburied in a plain pine coffin in a suburban New York cemetery.
No bones remained but some earth and nails from his old coffin were put in his new pine coffin and buried with him in his new resting place.
No one knows the Leatherman's real name; he remains a mysterious figure who begged for food and slept outdoors from the 1850s to his death in 1889.
