Miss Sarah Elizabeth Manning, a Beacon Hill recluse known to Bostonians for decades, left an estate reportedly valued between $50,000 and $150,000 after a long life of apparent poverty. The precise amount remains undetermined, with the eccentric woman’s fortune noted by local observers.
After Miss Manning's funeral at King's Chapel, a room search at 7 Ashburton place uncovered seventeen bank books in four trunks, revealing large deposits and valuable stock. The Boston native, famed for reading 17 languages, left her fortune to the church and had long lodged at 16 Ashburton place with Miss Smith.
