WINK LEW AI IK
GETS $100,000.00
Doyle Coston, aged about 36. who
has been employed at the Houchins
produce store the past two years,
was notified last Friday by Rosen-
berg Bros, bank that they had plac-
ed to his credit the sum of $100,-
000.00. The money had been sent
here by Doyle Coston, Sr., of Bay
City, Texas, who recently fell heir
to $800,000 in cash and Ohio real

entitle anu UOU lUiuitumivi j mauu
a ChriBtmaB present of $100,000
cash to each of his three shildren,
reserving $500,000 for himself.
Needless to say this unexpected
windfall was not at ail unwelcome
L» the HulletYvile Coston, who hud
been a day laborer (and a sober,'
hardworking one at that) practical-
ly all his life, aud through sick-
ness and other misfortune had often
been "up against it.” However he
is not at all puffed up or Intoxicat-
ed as a reBult of his newly-gotten
wealth. In fact when a New Era
reporter went to interview him, he
was pursuing his duties as usugl as
mau-of-ull-work at the produce
store, aud , barring perhaps a new
collar and tie, there was no change
in his appearance or demeanor.
Mr. Coston states he had heard
about a month ago that there was
some chance of the children getting
something from the grandmother’s
estate, but not until last week did
he know for certain that so great a
sum would be at his immediate dis-
posal. llis feeling last Friday can
be best expressed in the first
words he uttered: "What am 1 go-
1 trig to do with all that money?” A
question that many a man no doubt
thinks he can answer or thut per-
haps some men would like to ans-
wer for him. Asked as to his fu-
ture pluns Mr. Coston stated that
»i«* was not unset as a result of his
windfall and was not golngto rush
into anything in the hope of get-
ting richer and running the danger
of dropping it all, nor was he going
to spend it all in having a good tlnio
He says he expects to "take his
time” making investments, and will
live without much osteution, though
In comfort, a nice home being
among his immediate ideas.
Mr. Coston came to this vicinity
about three years ago, was married
here soon after to Miss Annie See.
About two years ago lie was em-
ployed to conduct the turkey killing
plant at the Houchins Produce store-
and hus been with that firm ever
since. He will continue to work
there for the time being.
For the benefit of the many New
Era readers who have been asking
or will ask just how it all came
about, Mr. Coston cheerfully con-
sented to give all the facts regard-
ing his good fortune.
Pull.
To begin at the beginning, some
eighty years ago Mr. Coston's grand
parei tB (named Coston) emigrated
from Ireland to the shores of North
Carolina. They were a young couple
with very little of the worldly
goods. A few years latpr they mov-
ed lo the state of Ohio, which was
then largely a wilderness. They
settled on lands, some of which or
nil of w'liich (our Informant did not
know exactly) were in the corporate
limits of a city subsequently found-
ed. With the increase of settlers
the value of this real estate in-
creased Lo an enormous extent until
today the total property acquired
by the aged couple represents a
value of four million dollars.
The grandfather died shortly af-
ter the civil war and the grand-
mother continued to hold the pro-
perty together and add to it, re-
taining her money-getting and keep-
ing talent until a very ripe old age.
Even her children had to live In
, comparative poverty with little or
no help from her. In fact her des-
cendents were not sure of getting
: any of the property until her death
was announced a few mouths ago.
| When she died there were just
five children who fell heirs to the
estate, each of them getting $800,-
000. One of these heiiH was Doyle
j Coston, Sr., uged 69, who, as above
stated lives in Bay City, and gave
each of his children the $100,000.
I The names of these three children
are Doyle of liiis city, Grover, who
i lives In Texas, but whose address
to iwiu’ tin! known mid Vt ra Barber,
who resides in Alabama.
Though he has not the chance to
obtain much schooling, Coston
is an industrious, intelligent, polite
and obliging sort of fellow who has
muny friends that were glad to hear
