Wealth by Wise Friends Behind Weed Estate Plan
After Thurlow Weed’s death in 1882, executors convinced him to place nearly all assets aside from his newspaper and home furniture under management of trusted allies. A decade later they reveal a $6,000,000 growth, yielding a final estate of $1,100,000 through shrewd investments. The tale, told by Charles C. Clarke, details a cautionary, almost humorous, evolution from generosity to profitable control. A second note describes an Arkansas River boulevard proposal as a national object lesson in road building for western Kansas.
