A woman who ran a small grocery store in a rural New York state community has left a local school district US$1 million (NT$33 million) in her will.
Alice Harris died on May 23, her 97th birthday. She and her husband, who died nine years ago, owned the Harris Grocery store on the southeastern edge of the Adirondacks, New York, USA.
People who knew Harris said she was thrifty.

"Nobody ever knew she had that kind of money available," said Becky Mosher, who bought the small grocery store from Harris, who had no children.
"She didn't spend money, she didn't go anywhere," Mosher said.
Harris's money will establish the Loren and Alice Harris Scholarship Foundation for graduating students, which is expected to create about US$50,000 (NT$1,650,000) in scholarships each year. (AP)
一名在紐約州某郊區社區經營小雜貨店的女士，在遺囑中表示，要捐贈一百萬美元（新台幣三千三百萬元）給當地學區。
艾莉絲．哈瑞斯女士在五月二十三日，也就是她九十七歲生日當天去世。她和丈夫在紐約州東南緣的艾迪朗達克斯郊區經營「哈瑞斯雜貨舖」。哈瑞斯先生於九年前去世。
認識她的人都說她很節儉。
頂下小雜貨店的貝琪．莫歇爾說：「沒人知道她有那筆錢。」哈瑞斯太太膝下並無子女。
莫歇爾說：「她不太花錢，也很少外出。」
哈瑞斯太太的遺產將用來成立「羅倫．哈瑞斯與艾莉絲．哈瑞斯獎學金基金會」，預估這筆款項每年可帶來五萬美元（新台幣一百六十五萬元）左右的獲利，以供應屆畢業生獎學金之用。（美聯社／翻譯：林倩如）
