He seems to have died fairly affluent. Because his father was dying, James
Russell Billiter Jr. was administering Peter's third wife's (Essie's) estate
in 1947. Jim reached the mattress in which Essie had secreted Peter's savings
too late; Essie's brothers had removed it first. Jim, Bob and Pauline received
only "a couple hundred dollars". This according to Robert Charles Billiter and
Jim's wife, Virginia Reeb (Billiter) Butler.

Lots of good dirt is available from Etta Allen's divorce suit from Peter in
1898. Jerry Billiter is a defendant, and this lends to Peter's existence in
the John Billiter/Lucy Crow family; Jeremiah was a child listed in the 1860
census for Tyler County, WV. The suit mentions that Jerry was visiting Peter's
house in 1898 for a week.
