Flagler Million Dollar Bond
At the Key West (Florida) Museum of Art and History at the Custom House is an exhibit on the extension of the Florida East Coast Railway to Key West which is attributed to the foresight of Henry M. Flagler.
In the exhibit is a Bond for one million dollars made out to Henry Flagler.
The exhibit note with the bond says:
One Million Dollar Bond issued to Henry M. Flagler on June 15th 1909. On the reverse, it records the interest payment made to Flagler in 1910, 1911, and 1912. After Flagler’s death in 1913, his trustees William Beardsley, William Kenan Jr. and Joseph Parrott took over the bond.
While not signed by Flagler, our guess is this is probably unique.
