In the very last paragraph of the article that Gene linked to in post #1 it states:

“Stories were told about his charity – especially how he took off his shoes and stockings for the barefoot boys he met, till his mother in despair absolutely forbade it. He argued: ‘They can’t get any shoes. I guess you can buy me some more, and I’m so sorry for them.’ “
