Hetty Green Ends Plaza Debut Returns to Simple Life in Hoboken
New York July 21 Hetty Green and her daughter Sylvia now reside in a modest two room boarding house at 673 Madison Avenue with their dog Dewey.

A baseless rumor re a child’s murder in a church basement was investigated and found false.
