Wayward Will

Charles Vance Millar, a Canadian lawyer and financie who died a bachelor in 1926, bequeathed the bulk of his fortune to whichever Toronto woman gave birth to the largest number of children in the ten years after his death. Four women eventually tied in the ‘Stork Derby’ that followed the publication of his will. Each had nine children, and they shared between them $750,000. A fifth woman who who had ten children was ruled out because five were illegitimate.
