HEIR TO MILLIONS March 12, 1914
Manning people were pleased when they saw yesterday in the Omaha World Herald
the good news that the Wunraths, former well-known citizens of Manning, had fallen heir to a large
fortune. Following is the article which explains all.
Fortune has come unexpectedly to the Wunrath, family of Omaha consisting of William Wunrath and his wife
and his sons, Hugo and William A. Wunrath, and August Wunrath and daughters, Misses Freda, Minnie and
Ernestine Wunrath, whose home is at 2894 Miami Street.
Hugo is assistant cashier of the Woodmen of the World and his brother, William A., is also employed there.
"Omaha is the climax to the search," was the word that came along
with the notice to them that they had a fortune. The amount is said to be about $500,000.
Hugo admitted, when asked by a newspaper man, that they had notice of a fortune
left by their great uncle, brother of their grandfather. This great-uncle ran
away from home when a lad and it was not even known until now that he attained a fortune.
