Hermit Burial Halted in Thornton Township Dispute
Authorities halted plans to bury Abner Taylor Hinckley known as the nude hermit of Thornton Township amid a family identity fight. Dr Donald Hinckley and Mrs George Hinkley claim his identity, while probate records link him to Abner Hinckley Sr. The estate had provided support until 1923 and the hermit previously lived in a chicken coop on Frank Flanigan's farm with modest shelter provisions.
