Various collectible and homemade dolls could be found 'scattered all over' the old abandoned house, with a 1950s 'sad clown' toy giving one urban explorer quite the fright ...

Jun. 30—PERU — Thomas Patrick Kelly, the last living son of the nation's most famous hobo clown who followed his father into a career under the big top, died Sunday at Hickory Creek at Peru.

Based on the very first sad hobo clown Emmett Leo Kelly of Howe’s Great London Circus, known as ‘Weary Willie’, the doll began to appear in the 1950s emulating the beloved comic.
