Who was the Haystack Man they found in Beaver County Pa.

 Its 1911 and a farmer  from Chippewa working his fields finds a man half frozen in a stack of hay.

He does not know who he was or where he came from  and he is taken to a local asylum where he is properly taken care of but  never recovers his identity  to become known only as Haystack Jack .

It is believed he may have been a cowboy because of ranches and such he recalled but no one was able to run down which one it was or like many drifters if there was ever a record of him working there. 

Was he a victim of a mugging tossed off a train running thru area ? No one knows and as time passes chances are even with DNA  if they can recover it they will never find out  .

Jack Haystacks is but one of many such mystery people in late 1800s early 1900s who ended up in asylums all over the country unable to tell there story's .
