Peggy Young's Real Estate

New York, 1895

A sheriff's jury Tuesday morning decided that Peggy Young, of Quogue, was incompetent to manage her business. She is an old colored woman who owns considerable real estate which has lately become valuable. Last November, it is alleged that Isaac Arch, also colored, prevailed on Aunt Peggy to dispose of a $500 lot for a handful of change amounting to $2.64.
