Notes |
- Information from Mariana L Zuelsdorf:
From written notes by Jay Harman, son of Francis Harman (September 1997)
Bill Harman, who would have been my great uncle (I think), liked to play penny-ante poker in the basement of the Elks Club in Parkersburg. One day he was in the middle of a game, had a heart attack, and fell over dead. After they took him away in the ambulance, the guys he was playing cards with turned over his hand--and he had aces and eights! Known as a "Dead Man's Hand".
My dad told me this story of one of our relatives that lived in New Martinsville, I think he would have been my great-great uncle. Anyway, he had a reputation around town as a carouser and one Saturday night, the local police arrested him for disorderly conduct and hauled him down to the Police Station where he was booked and allowed to make his one phone call. He called his cousin..........in Alaska!
