"Mr. Crouse was undoubtedly the richest man in Syracuse. His wealth consists principally of ready money, government bonds, and railroad stocks which paid dividends. Mr. Crouse was one of the largest holders of New York Central & Western Union Telegraph stock. His real estate amounted to an exceedingly small fraction of his fortune. A gentleman, who was as near the family as any body could be, said last night that D. Edgar Crouse, who will inherit the wealth of his father, will be worth $10,000,000."
