 Cor Hartford Post: Aaron Nash. aged 75 years, and an old resident of Windermere, died at his residence Friday morning. He was familiarly known as $ Old Nash, z and was thought to be worth considerable money. He lived in an old brick house at Windermere with scarcely 8 door iasplace or pane of glass in the windows. During the winter the holes were stopped up as best they could be with old clothes and paper, and people driving by his place wondered how per- son could live in such quarters. A pe- culiar habit of his was in hiding sums of money in different places in the house and barn. A few years ago his barn was burned, and it was said at the time that 8 large sum of money was consumed with it. In the place of the old barn a large new one was erected, and the remark was often made that it was better place of abode than the house. Stories were of- ten told of finding small sums of money in barrels containing produce which he had brought to market, which he had put there and forgotten. A few yeals ago a roll of bills amounting to $200 was found by 9, M4rket-st. groceryman in barrel of potatoes, which he returned to the owner.
