The Man Who Spoke Of A Dying Fortune In Public
A long article narrates the tale of Coal-Oil Johnny once famed for wealth who is now alive in Saunders County Nebraska at about fifty. He works as a station agent in Ashland and has not recovered his fortune, though he lives comfortably. The piece recounts his oil-town yo-yo life through Roquetteville Buffalo and Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, clarifying that his riches did not reach billions and outlining a bankruptcy-era schedule and creditors at the Girard House. The report also ties him to John W. Waits of Oil City, who bought his old property for 7000 dollars and has since received offers up to 850,000 dollars.
