ADAMS — Residents of Watertown and the southern part of Jefferson County may see a man and his mannequin traveling along Route 11 and in the city.

A man who goes by the name of Ned Nefer, 38, is traveling from Syracuse to Watertown by foot. He is pushing Teagan, a 6-foot mannequin that Mr. Nefer claims is his wife.

Mr. Nefer said he was born in Syracuse and in the 1980s spent some time at the Children’s Home of Jefferson County in Watertown, where he said he met Teagan when she was just a head. He said he built a body for the mannequin and the two were “married” Oct. 31, 1986, in California.

They are traveling to the former Children’s Home on State Street, where the two met, he said. Mr. Nefer said he has not been back to Watertown since 1988.
