About two centuries ago a man died. He was proceeded in death by his wife and they had no children. Because he was a self made man he was snubbed by most of his financial peers and his social peers felt uncomfortable around him because of his money.

As his body lay in the church a stranger stopped in, seeing there was no mourners and no one had signed the book they prayed for the man's soul and signed the book.

A few weeks later they were visited by the dead man's lawyer. The man left all his money to be divided between "all who should attend my funeral". Since there was only one name in the book, they got the lot.

—”A few weeks later they were visited by the dead man’s lawyer. “

By any chance was the attorney’s name Michael Anthony?
“You sent for me, sir?”
