Beaver Boy Returns Home From Maryland Farm Offer
Roy L. Baker of Keymar Maryland still seeks a West Virginia life while Roy Hall of Beaver left the Bakers’ farm after a week. The boy enjoyed a lavish welcome and farm tour but grew frustrated, saying he did not want to shovel cow manure and preferred school, eating, sleeping, and hunting.
