JOHNSON, Tillie

Arizona State Miner (Wickenburg)
Saturday, June 26, 1926, p 7 c 5

Brooklyn, NY--A small fortune in paper money was found sewed in the dress of Tillie Johnson, aged woman recluse, when she died here. The money totaled $5,000.

For years the woman lived alone, never mentioning friends or relatives. She lived as if she were destitute. Morgue officials, however, found the money sewed to the inside of her dress. Police have sought relatives in vain.
