"The Duke" of Asheville
|
In 1902 a mysterious stranger arrived in Asheville, NC. He died three weeks after his arrival, probably of tuberculosis. His true identity has remained a secret, up until this day. During his tenure as the embalmed resident of the local funeral home, the citizens of Asheville playfully referred to him as “the Duke” and his corpse participated in a number of practical jokes and public displays.
