CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — An old wedding invitation has helped West Virginia officials track down the heir to a South Charleston resident’s estate and give her more than $480,000.
A niece of J.D. Mier will get $481,335.70 after the executor of Mier’s estate found her in Ohio after finding the invitation in boxes of personal documents. State Treasurer John Perdue presented executor Robin Klapproth with the check on Friday.
