That Mystery in Jamestown Ends with Hidden Fortune
Mary Day, a 30-year-old itinerant resident of Jamestown in 1870, becomes the focus of village gossip after a mysterious illness and a string of peculiar events. A fire, secret wall compartment, and a concealed fortune of 40,000 dollars in currency are uncovered when the cottage is opened years later, revealing Day’s tragic end by poison and a planned death to wipe out both house and wealth. No conclusive link to a stranger’s inquiry or a crime is ever proven.
