Last of Polk County pack peddler dies at 78
The last pack peddler of Polk County, a stocky white bearded man who travelled with two suitcases selling pins thread jewelry and news, died at University Hospital. He had no relatives and the county funded his burial in Hordville after a long life roaming dusty Midwestern roads. He once owned an 80 acre Polk County farm and endured scams in oil and real estate before turning to peddling, later living at the county farm in Osceola for two years until his August 12 hospital admission. About 250 attended his Fridden Lutheran church funeral in Hordville.
