Son finds two layers of small bills hidden under kitchen carpet. Surprise!
Money Hidden Under Carpet
SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., March 9, 1910 — When Mrs. Frank A. Slavin died it was thought she did not have a cent.
The kitchen carpet was taken up and two layers of small bills, which almost covered the entire floor, were discovered.
There was nearly a bushel of them when piled up, and they amounted to $3,400.
Her son, Charles A. Slavin, was about to vacate the house and stood in the doorway debating whether to take up or leave the kitchen carpet. He thought it might do to cover the dog kennel, and so he pulled it up.
