Mistress of Finance Dead
New York July 4 Mrs Hetty Green aged 80 world’s wealthiest woman died here Monday after three strokes in two months. She left about 100 million dollars and lived frugally, often in boarding houses. Born in 1834 New Bedford she inherited ten million and built a vast fortune through cautious investments in mortgages and real estate. Her legal battles with rivals and lawyers colored her public image as a self made heiress though she was born rich. She married Edward H Green in 1867 and divided wealth with strict arrangements. The panic of 1907 saw her lend support to many wealthy New Yorkers at good interest.
