Hermit of Lehman Township Lived in Cave Thirty Years
New York correspondent reports Austin Sheldon, a nearly seventy year old hermit, has inhabited a six by one foot cave in a dense Pike county forest for over thirty years. He came to the region around 1840 after dying in New York, purchased a single acre, and lives mainly on wild fruit, game, and Bible study. He is deaf, unshaven for decades, and relies on birds he lures for companionship while living without modern conveniences.
