From a story found on familysearch.org: Albert and Selina lost about $1,200 in a bank in Sugar City during the great Depression in 1932. Therefore, they did not believe in banks. At the time of Selina's death in 1961, the family was going to throw away her old coat when Mel told them to check it over good first. He told them that whenever she needed money she always went to that coat. They found over $3,000 sewn into the lining.
