William McKinley Crews, 81, is reflected in the mirror as he shaves in the morning at the farmhouse where he has lived all his life. His hat collection hangs in his house in Moccasin Swamp, which has no electricity or running water. He keeps company with his 14 cats and four cows.He is one of the last of the "old swampers" a reference to early settlers who lived in rural wetlands.
