HIS WANDERINGS ENDED

A F Larkin, the aged white man who was brought to Van Buren early in August, at which time it was believed that he was demented, but later developed that he was sick, died in the county jail at 6:30. The remains were turned over to Coroner Hollenbeck, who had them interred in the Gill Cemetery this afternoon.

Sheriff Branson made an effort to find some of the man’s relatives, but without success. He had only been in the county a few weeks, but his condition was such as he cold not be turned out and was kept there until his death this morning. Larkin was a homeless wanderer and drifted into Crawford County during the peach picking season.
