John DeFerrari, 86,
Rich Boston Recluse,
Found Dead in Room
•y tha Associated Trots
BOSTON, May 3. — John
DeFerrari, 86. multimillionaire
former fruit peddler who gave
more than a million dollars in
trust to the Boston public library,
was found dead yesterday in his
Beacon Hill hideaway.
His body was found by the man
ager of the Beacon Chambers, who
said Mr. DeFerrari had occupied
a room there for 25 years under
| the name of Henry Howe.
Police, summoned by the man
ager, Hyram Skeels, said Mr.
DeFerrari apparently died several
days ago.
Mr. Skeels said the eccentric
multimillionaire refused to admit
chambermaids and always made
his own bed and tidied up the
room.
Mr. DeFerrari made a fortune
investing the profits from his fruit
business, inherited from his father,
an Italian immigrant.
He watched his money closely
and was accustomed to fasten his
pockets with large safety pins to
foil pickpockets.
In 1947 he presented the Bos
ton public library with more than
$1 million to start a $3 million
trust fund.
The trust was irrevocable, but
had two conditions. Mr. Deferrari
requested the library trustees to
use the first million of earned in
i come to build a wing or a ropm to
bear his name, and asked that his
portrait be hung there.
The trustees promptly appro
priated (5,000 and had his portrait
painted.
Mr. Deferrari possessed no auto
mobile, radio or telephone. Owner
of property in the North and West
Ends and the Back Bay section,
he walked all over the city to col
lect his rents.
He never married, but kept a
house on Wesley place in the
North End, near his Ferry street
birthplace. He often went there
to cook his own meals on his
mother’s old-fashioned range.
Eldest of eight children, he
leaves only one sister.
