Graves, Gold, and Gossip from 1926 | St. Louis News

In July 1926, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch broke big news: a $76 million estate was at the center of a dramatic legal battle over two graves, hinting at a secretive railroad owner’s gift to a farmer’s wife. Meanwhile, a royal’s cheese preference sparked headlines, a deadly heat wave claimed two lives, American tourists spent so much in Paris it annoyed locals, and a bank messenger was robbed and shot—$16,000 stolen. It’s a wild snapshot of a bygone era, where fortunes, fashion, and fatal heat waves all made front-page news. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
