Hi About the man who died in Arkansas. I had heard this story while living in Arkansas as a child. So a couple of years ago while my husband and I were visiting relatives in No. Little Rock, I had my mother tell me the story again. This is a true story, the funeral home did bury the man. It was the funeral home in Prescott, Ar. I went in the funeral home and asked to see the man and they told me they had buried him several years ago. He was still unclaimed. To the best of their knowledge he was an African-American. If you call the funeral home they will tell you the story. Sorry I don't remember the name,but it shouldn't be to hard to find, it's probably the only one in Prescott.
