UNEXPECTED LEGACY
WINDFALL OF NEARLY £30,000 An unexpected legacy of nearly £30,000 from his employer has brought, romance and sudden. wealth into the life of Mr Edward Huggins,' timber yard manager, of Stoke Newington, London. _ ,• Behind this legacy, bequeathed by Mr Charles Marshall, timber merchant, of London and Bournemouth; is a story of a lifelong friendship. When an interviewer called at Mr Huggins’s home he was away celebrating his good luck at a football match. He lives in a small villa, one of a long row of houses, and here he has stayed for the past twenty years. I was amazed to Hear of our remarkable fortune;said Mrs Huggins. “ My husband and Mr Marshall worked
side by side in the timber yard of Mr Marshall’s father; , There sprung up between the men a friendship which lasted throughout all these years. “I have not had a holiday for'two years, and I■ • think now-‘I ■ might • get away. - But I would' pot give ■up this old home/even if I were left £300,000.” Mr Huggins, who’ has no sons or daughters, will probably still carry on in his job in the timber yard of his old friend. .
