AMERICAN HEIRS TO A VAST ESTATE IN
SCoTLAND.-Some time ago a claim agent
named Smith, reported to several persons
in Sandyston, N. j., Brandford county,
Pa, and Port Jervis, n. Y, that Will
liam Innis of Scotland, had died, leaving
them heirs to twenty or thirty millions OF
dollars. Mr.. William Kyle went to Eng
land, where he was informed that " if the
claimants could produce the old family
Bible, with the records, it would be the
best evidence as to their title Mr..
Kyle did not know that any such Bible
was in existence.
The facts in the case are given as fol-
lows:
George Innis Of Edinburgh, Scotland,
died intestate, without children, and his
estate fell to his only brother, William, ,and
his maiden sister, Jane. William, how.
ever, had previously sailed for America
in 1882, settling in Sandyston, n. j. A.
he failed to acquaint his friends Of hi,
whereabouts, Jane, his sister, entered in
to peaceful possession of the entire estate
Afterwards she died, and willed it to hel
brother William, who she supposed hat
gone to America. The estates are now il
the hands of trustees, and have swclle(
to the enormous sum stated above.
William Innis was one of the founders
Of the Reform Church in Port Jervis, ,anC
was forty years member thereof He
was a school teacher, and widely known
but for some reason or other he neyel
wrote to his brother, neither did he know
Of his death. He had eight children, all
Of whom are dead and it is their grand
children, eighty in number, to whom the
vast Scottish Inheritance rightfully be
longs.
a few days ago the missing link, thu
old family Bible, was found in the hands
of an Innis, living in Bradford county
Pennsylvania, with the family recor,
complete. He came to Port Jervs will
it on Tuesday, and now the heirs inten'
to take the proper measures to secure tn
property, and committee will shortl,
sail for England for this purpose. Tn
Bible was printed in Edinburgh in 1922
and is in good preservation. \ numbe
Of persons named lnnis, at Newburgl
and elsewhere in this country, have unit
now laid claim to the estates, but theii
claims are now set aside by the discover,
Of this old relic"
