Aunt hoard found in old feather bed in Lock Haven
In Lock Haven Pennsylvania on March 1 Mrs. Minerva Miller, living with her son Clyde Mauck, discovered a cloth covered package hidden in an old feather bed she planned to burn.

The aunt who hid the money died 25 years ago in Millheim Center County and kept cash around the house rather than in banks. The finder had no knowledge of the money’s existence until now.
