The semi-weekly messenger. [Wilmington NC], August 19, 1898
Rocky Mount Telegram: An old "fortune teller" named Hester Brantley, who lived
near here in Nash county, died suddenly on Monday afternoon. She had been
telling fortunes for over fifty years at a quarter per tell and only $8 was
found in her house. The neighbors learned that the old woman always went to her
smokehouse every Saturday at midnight. A few digs with spades unearthed several
old coffee pots filled with silver. The whole find amounted nearly to $500.
