💰 Unclaimed treasure hunt

Hamilton County • July 8, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Hamilton County. The race is on for unclaimed funds in Ohio, with County Treasurer Jill Schiller sounding the alarm that residents should retrieve their money before it potentially contributes to a new Cleveland Browns stadium. This financial treasure hunt offers a rare opportunity to reclaim what's rightfully yours before those dollars are directed elsewhere – a gentle reminder that sometimes the most valuable plays happen off the football field.

Meanwhile, history takes center stage as the Behringer-Crawford Museum celebrates 75 years of preserving Northern Kentucky's cultural heritage with free exhibitions and summer festivities. And speaking of colorful local history, the tale of Cincinnati opera star Josie Jones provides a fascinating glimpse into our musical past – from her British fame under the stage name Josephine Jones Yorke to weathering personal scandals while maintaining her remarkable career that spanned continents before her death in 1931.

🎭 Cincinnati opera star Josie Jones survived scandal with career intact. The contralto enjoyed British fame under the stage name Josephine Jones Yorke while weathering rumors about an affair with Scottish doctor Norman McLean. Though McLean admitted his infatuation and visited Jones in Cincinnati, both parties denied any impropriety. The German-born impresario Carl Rosa had added "Yorke" to Jones' name to make her sound more British for her London performances. After a successful opera career, Jones returned to America, taught music in Chicago, and died in 1931 at age 81, never having married.
