Falmouth Outlook Fri. 2 May 1924 Vol. 17 No. 48 Pg. 7 Col. 2 GOLD MONEY FOUND IN OLD RESIDENCE On Monday, while razing the old house purchased by Mr. A. R. Langley on last court day, his son, Hansford Langley and Eddie Black found a can filled with gold money amounting to $918.50. When prying our a board under the stairway the can rolled out on the floor, the top came off and the gold pieces scattered in every direction. The container was a one fourth pound Royal Baking powder can and held one $1.00 piece; one #2.50 piece; and number of $5.00 and $10.00 pieces and fourteen $20.00 pieces, all in gold. The oldest coin was made in 1836 and the newest in 1882. The property originally belonged to Mr. & Mrs. John Lee, the former a veteran of the Mexican War, who for many years kept small store, in the frame building connected to the main house, which was of log. He was considered a prosperous merchant in his day and after his death his wife continued to reside in the same property, alone most of the time. Her relatives and friends were always solicitious of her welfare, knowing that she kept large amounts of money in the house, and shortly before her death sevearl years ago, she remarked to a friend that she had money in the house, but had forgotten where she had placed it. This evidently was the money she had in mind, which must have been saved by Mr. Lee as gold money had not been so generally used in the past twenty years. During Mrs. Lee's life, Mr. & Mrs. T. Jap Black occupied rooms in the Lee house, moving there from the farm until their house on Frankfort Street was completed, and after her death the Baptist church members purchased the property, expecting to have a resident pastor and a parsonage later on. The house was occupied at different intervals by the family of Odar Woodruff, John Corlis, Orville Field and the late Taylor Burton, the latter family moving out some months ago, when a decision was reached to sell the house at public auction on court day, to be moved from the lot. Mr. A. R. Langley was the fortunate bidder, and purchased the house for $170.00 which has increased in value probably more than any property in town in such a length of time. -- Brooksville Review Falmouth Outlook Fri. 2 May 1924 Vol. 17 No. 48 Pg. 8 Col. 4 Conry and Antioch Mills Items Mrs. Lester Butcher and little babe spent Saturday night and Sunday with her parents, Mr. & Mrs. H.
