I found the following from Brett Levi on Facebook:
Visiting the “Tzadik of Freehold” or the “Wald-Mensch,” Rav Avrohom Yitzchok Klugman, who died in 1924 and is buried in Freehold. An immigrant from Belarus, he left the Lower East Side for the forests between Lakewood and Freehold where he lived an ascetic existence for 12 years, learning Torah and wandering between the rural synagogues. He was “discovered” by the writer Reuven Brainin, who couldn’t have imagined such a holy “nozir” living in America. The same day that Brainin’s article about Klugman (first in four-part series) appeared in the Yiddish daily Der Tog, the Wald-Mensch was killed after being hit by a train in the forest he called home. In his bag he had been carrying only a gemoro Sanhedrin and tzitzis which he sold to earn money to send to aniyei Eretz Yisroel.
