- There was a man who lived on Penny Hill in Hacketstown. His name was Frank Gray and he was going to make his will. It took him days to consider to whom he would leave the money. After a while he thought of a friend which he said he would make his will to. The village schoolmaster drew up the will. But the school master got a terrible shock when the will consisted of small, small sums of money to be divided in pennies.
