Small Fortune for Them in Frosttown Heirs
Reported in Frosttown and Washington that the heirs of the late Mrs. George Miller will share about 3000 dollars each from the estate of Susan Wiles and the eventual 27000 dollar total after counsel fees. Mrs. Miller’s daughter Mrs. Frisby Kitsmiller may receive a portion for the siblings. The fortune originates from Susan Wiltet, once thought poor, and court action may adjust the final distribution among three Frosttown heirs and related relatives.
