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.
