Leper John Rashid causes railroad pull over policy
The Syrian leper John Rashid remains in a mountain retreat near Pickens while Randolph County residents contend the railroad mishandled his removal, fearing infection risk. City officials in Parkersburg considered warrants against railroad officials but may drop charges after health board input. Rashid, 21, migrated from Gurba, Sidon County, Syria, and endured a wandering life before Elkins isolation and a French wave treatment.
