102-Year Old Marion County Woman Gets Unexpected Check
WEST VIRGINIA...
A 102-year-old Marion County woman got a surprise visit from the West Virginia treasurer, and he came bearing a gift.
Zelma Fraley accepted a $507 unclaimed property check from Treasurer John Perdue, who traveled to Barrackville to personally deliver the matured life insurance policy.
Perdue said Fraley is now the oldest recipient of an unclaimed property payment. One-hundred-one-year-old Mary Chester of Institute held the title since 2008.

Fraley's 81-year-old daughter, Gypsy Conaway, told her of Perdue's visit Friday but didn't reveal the purpose before he presented her with the check.
