The Curious Will Warmed Man of Southern Ohio
In southern Ohio about twenty years ago a bachelor named Thomas Martin lived alone on a small farm. Wealth from oil on his lands, mostly about twenty thousand dollars, funded a strange feud with relatives. He mocked family demands, drafted multiple wills, and strained kin with tricks and tests. A dramatic night saw a burning of one will as he died after his last ruse, leaving a mystery over which document survived and who inherited.
