An Anecdote of Avarice and Fortunes at Deptford

An old news column recounts a widow of a Captain Lewhorn in East India service dying at Deptford after living eleven years without fire. She valued at twenty thousand pounds, resisted sustenance for days, and clung to a locked iron chest of plate and china.
