HIS LIFE A MYSTERY
George TempIeton, Who Left His For
tune for Hospital at Ames, Lived
Alone for Thirty Years-Life Story
Never Revealed.

Special to Times Republican.
George Templeton, the aged eccentric
recluse who was buried in this city
Wednesday, the county loses one of its
most peculiar characters. Templeton
was born in England and spent the
early part of his life on the sea. He
drifted from that life into America and
settled on a small farm south OF Ames
about thirty years ago. There he lived
alone and in apparent content He
made many friends, but confident of
none of them. He was strictly honest
and upright in all of his dealings, was
not misery, but lived frugal life.
He was not given to talking of his
past life, yet did not appear to be a
man with a history" He accumulat-
ed some property and was considered a
substantial citizen. Some time previous
to his death he informed Thomas Jar
vii, am old time friend, that I'M case of
1'ts' NSosA's ~ pSSAi III ulNISi lIic Carpet
would result in the finding of the In
formation regarding THE disposal of his
property. He gave no information of
his intentions, however. After his
sudden and lonely death this search
was made and small memorandum
discovered which contained the infor-
nation that his will would be found
at the Story County Bank of Ames.
By the terms of this will his prop
.erty, amounting to about $6,000,- is to
be given to the city of Ames for the
erection of a home for the aged BY
the terms of the will the home is to be
used by those who are too aged to care
for themselves and who have been de-
serted or neglected by their children.
This last provision causes many to
wonder If it might be possible that the
eccentric man had In his memory an
aged parent left alone in far off Eng
land who the fates had not dealt too
kndley with in their declining years.
The will will be properly probated,
after which the city of Ames will ac-
cept the bequest and carry out the
terms Of the document.
