URBAN, George  - Saturday Feb 13, 1892
George Urban, a prominent German resident of Norwalk, who died Saturday, was a very eccentric man. He was always a hard working man and made his wife and children work like slaves. He was 81 years old and lived on a farm near that town for over forty years. He hoarded up his earnings and was worth $100,000 at the time of his death. The man was always in mortal fear lest someone would rob him, and hid his cash in different places around his house. {Note $100,000 in today’s dollars would be about $1.9 million}
