Hetty Green was the famous miser, "The Witch of Wall Street" who amassed a fabulous fortune in the late 19th century, but was so miserly that she delayed treatment of her son's infected leg, for fear the doctors would charge her exorbitant fees. The son's leg would eventually have to be amputated. He was Col. Edward Howland Robinson Green. Hetty Green was from New Bedford and South Dartmouth, MA and Bellows Falls, VT.
