WEALTH INHERITED
EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GIRL’S FUTURE
An eight-year-old girl, Ruth Reddihough, daughter of the late Mr Frank Reddihough, a Bradford wool magnate has inherited most of her father’s estate, valued at £1,176,813. She does not know it yet, and her mother says she does not propose to tell Ruth until she is old enough to understand. The child, who appears to be satisfied with dolls and a doll’s perambulator, returned today from her kindergarten. The schoolmistress is wondering if the secret can be kept. Mrs Reddihough receives an annuity of £4OOO if she remains a widow and £2OO if she marries again. The death duties on the estate totalled £359,696.
