Dies In Rags;
Leaves Fortune
SAN DIEGO, Calif. </P)—An old
man who died in rags in Seattle
and left a $103,097 estate “merely
preferred to live simply.”
That was the explanation here
today by a brother of Fred S. Will
son, 75.
Well-to-do James C. Willson, 74,
the sole heir, commented at his
San Diego home:
“This sort -of life suited him ex
actly. His wants were few. He
did not care for sumptuous sur
roundings, nor for fancy food.”
The brothers were Alaska sour
doughs in the 1890’s and early
1900’s—Fred in the Ft. Wrangell
area and James in the vost north
ern interior. Both made stakes.
James, now a widower, settled
in San Diego. His brother, a re
cluse 'by nature, never married.
James last saw his brother in
March, four months before his
death. H« plans to leave for Seat
tle to settle the estate.
