Wealth and scandal trail late Weightman Penfield fortune

In a Philadelphia courtroom a dramatic session over a $60 million Weightman Penfield estate ended with a faint and postponed hearing. The wealth originated with William Weightman, who earned millions via quinine and Philadelphia real estate, and passed to Anne Weightman Walker Penfield after a tangled family saga. Her life intertwined with marriages, charity, and promoters, while battles over wills and perceived favoritism shaped the long decline of the fortune to under $29 million at her death.
