GENEVA WOMAN’S WEALTH. Receivea 1250,000 from the Hetty Green Estate. t ____ The following is taken from a newspaper clipping received by Miss Zoa Liebert from her friend, Mrs. Robert Black of Cleveland, Okla. Dr. W. C. Black is a brother of Robert Black, who recently went to Oklahoma, and the doctor, himself, practiced medi cine In Geneva several years ago. Dr. and Mrs. Black have several friends and acquaintances still living here who rejoice to hear of their remarkable good fortune. "A quarter of a million dollars was bequeathed to Mrs. W. C. Black, wife of a Tulsa physician, by Hetty Green, the wealthiest woman in the world. Only yesterday did it become known that so rich a legacy had fallen to the lot of a Tulsan, and Mrs. Black is now in New York to receive her *225,000 portion of the vast estate of millions left by the great woman financier. “The money in which Mrs. Black will share is a side estate of some $7,000,000 and it will be apportioned to some thirty relatives and heirs of Mrs. Green. “According to the story told by Dr. Black the $7,000,000 grew out of a last investment of the money which originally brought Mrs. Green's fabulous fortunes. .A part of the money with which the investment was made was loaned to Mrs. Green by relatives of Mrs. Black. The investment turned out handsomely and will be responsible for the placing of a quarter of a million dollars in tlie hands of each of the thirty heirs. Mrs. Black has written her busband that she found everything just as it had been represented to her when she reached New York and that settlements are being made as fast as possible. She will return soon.”— Geneva Herald. - ' o PLENTY OF 5 PER CENT MONEY. Partial payments any time, without waiting for interest pay day. ISOtf ERWIN OFFICE.
