Outlaw Abe Buzzard Dies in Jail at 82 Relic of Dime Novel Era
The oldest persistent Pennsylvania criminal, Abe Buzzard, died in Eastern Penitentiary at 82 after a life spent largely behind bars. He led a long career of robberies and escapes, then reform efforts and evangelistic tours before returning to crime, with his final years marked by jail time and a notorious wig and whiskers disguise kept as a prison relic.
