HIS BEARD 13 FEET LONG
Ohioan Who Refused Offer to Travel With Circus is Dead.
LONDON, O., Dec. 28 - (AP) - The death a
few days ago of Albert MOREHEAD, octogenarian, marked the passing
of the longest beard in this section of the country.
Due to MOREHEAD's habit of clipping the outer
portion of the facial growth so it resembled the ordinary get of chin
whiskers and coiling the remainder of it within his shirt, its true
length was never known.
However, it was estimated to have been from ten to
thirteen feet long. He refused a number of offers to travel with
circuses.
MOREHEAD came to London from Perry county in
1886. |
