MANCHESTER MAN'S STRANGE HABITS
Ample Money but Starved Himself An Inquest was held Manchester yesterday on
Alfred Cavanagh, who had lived a life of seclusion in his house in Cooper Street, Gorton. He had not been seen since the end February and the police had been informed by the Landlord.
Miss Annie Wright said she had known Cavanagh since 1909 she saw him a few days after he retired from business in December last. He called a few days later after going to enquire about a registered letter in Gorton Post Office but he had refused to pay 3d owed. In winter time he was always in bad health but would not go to the Doctor. He never had any proper food in the house and neglected himself.
Mr Neil said the firm had employed him for 40 years, the last 10 years his appearance had become slovenly and he got himself into dirty condition. His work was perfectly satisfactory, witness visited him on 21st February. He was so concerned about it he tried to persuade him for his company to send him to a home but he refused.
Is this the Alfred Wright living at the same address in 1921 census with Annie Wright (Pearson) & Constance Milton Wright?
