Leper Smuggled Out by Special Train to Randolph County
A Syrian leper named George Rashid was transported at night by a B&O special train from Parkersburg to Randolph County, with officials discreetly delivering him near Elling and abandoning the plan to move him to Elkins. Randolph authorities resisted initial plans, and a new arrangement left the leper in a tent in the woods near Pickens. The incident sparked political and legal maneuvering as Governor Dawson and state health officials weighed care options and possible federal action.
