Lucky Plainfield man wins German estate money

A Plainfield man, long resident in the United States after leaving Germany twenty years ago, has received six thousand dollars from his father’s estate in Germany and is to gain nine thousand more. The benefactor, George Youff, and his brother Philip in Hessen, arranged the settlement before a death in the lineage. The money, payable at a New York bank, has prompted plans for a new home in Plainfield, with the postmaster of Heewen handling communications and a projected residence to honor the late father’s thrift and the heir’s good fortune.
