Actually Hairy John was hairy. History records that "Hairy" John Voneida was a short statured man whose body was covered in hair.

More interestingly enough, his first wife mysteriously died and in his grief he moved into the Woodward Narrows in the area now called Hairy John's Park. When he passed, he was buried in Madisonburg.
