Cor bin always stipulated that his gift be kept confidential during his life tune, but now that he is gone, he felt there was no further need for secrecy.

DEATH SHOWS OLD COUPLE WERE R|CK MT. and Mrs. George Gilbert Of
 New Haven Both Dead ALWAYS LIVED FRUGALLY
Bank Book Found in Cupboards in Family Home Show Several Hun dred Thousand Dollars on De. posit.

New Haven, Jan. 2S.--In the family bible last Friday Mrs. Ange- line Sherman Gilbert made the note that her husband, George, q veteran Of the Civil war; had died in his S5th year. On Monday her daughter made the final entry that her mother had died in her S2nd year. The bible gave the family record of both from cradle to the grave. Mir. and Mrs. Gilbert had lived frugally, simply, all their married lives and today they were buried in the same plot of ground.
 Bank Books Found
 It has been presumed by those who knew them and had visited them in their fiat in Sylvan avenue, that they were in moderate circum- stances. Today, bank books were found in cupboards which would in- dicate that they had on deposit in six banks several hundred thousand dollars. On these deposits interest 1-''N INV CSN4l SollipuLtu IOT years.
 So far as known neither Gilbert nor his wife made a will, and their estate will go into the probate court for settlement. George l.. Gilbert in 1882 was courting Angelic Sherman, who lived at Oyster river in Mil ford.
 Romance of Civil War
 When the call came for soldiers, she promised to wait until he re- turned from the war. Gilbert joined company B, goth Connecticut Volun. teers and saw service with General Sherman on the March to the Seq. and afterwards at Gettysburg. He was mustered out in 1865 and hur- ried home and was married.
 Gilbert then began life's tasks as a carpenter which trade he followed until age compelled him to give it up.
 It Is believed that the frugality of Mir. and Mrs. Gilbert accounts for the savings accounts which are now revealed.
