Clarence Fredrick Gray:
'Catfish, Man of the Woods' dead at 84
Clarence Fredrick Gray - better known
as "Catfish, Man of the Woods" - is gone.
Gray, 84, died at Fairhaven Rest Home
on Adams Avenue Wednesday night, several weeks after suffering a heart attack.
Gray, who lived in Glenwood, W.Va., was
a herbalist who gained attention through lectures at garden clubs, community
groups, state colleges and a medical convention at the Greenbrier Hotel.
He was the subject of documentary films
and once appeared on a nationally televised late-night talk show. He believed
that nature offered healing for any disease in the herbs found in the fields
and woods. Living in harmony with nature - even those life forms that others
consider pests - assures a long, healthy life, he taught.
"Those bumblebees are my
friends," he once told a Herald-Dispatch reporter. "See that one?
That's a baby. But I've made friends with all of them. I leave my door open
sometimes and the mama comes inside and sits right here on my shoulder."
In return, he said, the good Lord gave
him long life and protected him from the "medical people."
Gray, a native of Liverpool, W.Va., on
the Jackson-Roane County line, believed God had a plan for his life - to cure
the incurable and reclaim those whom doctors had declared terminal. When he
wasn't digging roots or harvesting herbs for his cure-all bitters, he spent his
time greeting the hundreds of visitors who trekked to his home in search of
herbal wisdom.
"He helped a lot of people and he
will be missed," says Violet Sperry, one of his daughters.
"He was more than just a
customer," says Merlin Lee Ball, owner of Adams-Ball Copies, which
produced many of Gray's advertising brochures. "He never tried to make a
lot of money he just wanted to cure people."
Gray, a son of the late Burleigh
Clayton and Della Virginia Dillon Gray, was preceded in death by his wife, Mary
Frances "Righter" Gray. He is survived by six daughters, four sons,
13 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Visitation will be from 6 to 9 p.m.
today at Wilcoxen Funeral Home in Point Pleasant. The funeral will be at the
funeral home at 2 p.m. Saturday. Burial will follow in Apple Grove Memorial
Gardens in Apple Grove, W.Va.
Clarence F. "Catfish" Gray
believed the bitters he produced from herbs and roots would cure his
"patients" of just about anything.
