OK I knew this man - as well as any 5 year-old who only saw him pushing his cart (back to front) could. But are there any other memories out there?

My cousins wife has info, and my local (Wed) librarian lived in the area and has relatives extant who would remember him but all stories wanted. The web references are singular and unhelpful, the pamphlet will be read when it arrives. But I need more data. OK it is a longshot. The song (motivation for this) is written anyway but I want to fill-out the background.
