Page "Boston Corbett" Paragraph 2
from
Wikipedia
Corbett married, but his wife died in childbirth.
Following her death, he moved to Boston, and continued working as a hatter.
He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church and changed his name to Boston, the name of the city where he was converted.
In an attempt to imitate Jesus, he began to wear his hair very long.
On July 16, 1858, in order to avoid the temptation of prostitutes, Corbett castrated himself with a pair of scissors.
He then ate a meal and went to a prayer meeting, before going for medical treatment.
