Unidentified Man Found at Negro Funeral in Wilmington
In Wilmington, a white man’s body lay in a coffin at a Negro funeral with no one recognizing him. The Veterans Administration Hospital in Alexandria sent the body to the service, claiming the deceased had died of a tumor and that a patient named Fisher had recently spoken with Mrs. Janie Fisher, who is certain the man was her son John L. Fisher, a WWI veteran. Hospital records confirm a Fisher patient and list the mother as Mary Fisher, not Janie.
