Generous Secret Millionaire Leaves $3.8M Legacy to Small NH Town

Geoffrey Holt, a reserved man from Hinsdale, New Hampshire, secretly amassed a $3.8 million fortune before his death and left it all to his beloved town. The money will be managed by the NH Charitable Foundation, and the town plans to use it for grants in health, education, culture, and recreation. They also aim to honor Holt's frugality by finding ways to help people save money through the town budget. Holt's friend and estate executor, Edwin "Smokey" Smith, revealed that Holt was a humble man who would be embarrassed by the attention he is receiving. Holt's fortune was the result of wise investments he made after receiving a cash settlement from his former employer.
