Girl Heiress To £2,000,000
A nineteen-year-old girl who was a £3-a-week telephone operator in a Canadian village a few weeks ago will soon be a millionairess. Daughter of a tugboat skipper, she will inherit most of the fortune of her husband of three weeks, Danny Dodge, heir of the motor millions, who fell to his death recently in Georgian Bay, Ontario. Dodge, who met his bride at a village dance while he was building himself a summer house in Ontario, would have inherited nearly £2,000,000 when he was 25. His wife will not inherit that money, but she will inherit a portion of her husband’s accumulated income, said to amount to nearly £2,000,000. He left only one will, drawn up a week after his twenty-first birthday in July, and in that his wife is named as principal beneficiary.
