<<Especially before the reading of the will.>>

I know a guy who's grandfather was very wealthy, bought a lot of crappy land in 1880s that was found to be fulla easy to get coal. Built a town and named it after himself.

Back around 1950 he died, family and town thinking they hit it big. He gave every last nickel to a young hooker who lived in another town. Town changed the town's name from Poag to South Roxanna.
