Geoffrey Holt was a modest man with few needs, but also a savvy investor who read financial publications.
New Hampshire man had no car and no furniture, but died with a big secret - and left his town millionsIn this photo provided by Ed Smith, Geoffrey Holt rests his leg on top of his riding mower in Hinsdale, N.H., on April 4, 2020. Holt left the town of Hinsdale nearly $4 million when he died last June.
“He seemed to have what he wanted, but he didn’t want much,” said Edwin “Smokey” Smith, Holt’s best friend and former employer. The money could go far in this Connecticut River town sandwiched between Vermont and Massachusetts with abundant hiking and fishing opportunities and small businesses. It’s named for Ebenezer Hinsdale, an officer in the French and Indian Wars who built a fort and a grist mill. In addition to Hinsdale’s house, built in 1759, the town has the nation’s oldest continually operating post office, dating back to 1816.
Holt’s best friend Smith, a former state legislator who became the executor of Holt’s estate, had learned about his fortune in recent years. Holt’s sister, 81-year-old Alison Holt of Laguna Woods, California, said she knew her brother invested and remembered that not wasting money and investing were important to their father.
Geoffrey Holt is seen in a collection of family photos provided by his estate. Holt left the town of Hinsdale, N.H., nearly $4 million when he died last June.
