                  AGED HERMIT IS VICTIM OF COLD
                  
                 JOSEPH PARRISH of Wales Township
                   Found Dead in Fuel-less Home.
                   
              In a little house in Wales township without
            food or fuel, farmers yesterday found aged
            JOSEPH PARRISH, dead upon the floor. He had
            not been seen for many days so the neighbors
            investigated.
              He was 80 years old and feeble. The body
            was lying beside a meagerly covered bed. 
            Coroner ALBERT FALK thinks the old man rolled
            out of the bed and froze to death. As far as
            is known he had no near relatives.
              PARRISH was a proud old gentleman and when
            he was taken to the poor farm last spring,
            his heart was broken. Late in the summer he
            ran away and returned to his little hut in
            Wales township. Neighbors promised to aid
            him and gave him many odd jobs so the author-
            ities let him remain among his friends.
