Charlottesville Journal: Several months
ago a gentleman in New York sent General
Manson an advertisement taken from the
Herald wanting information as to the where
abouts of the relatives of John s. Manson,
deceased, of San Francisco, California. The
advertisement stated that large estate was
In the hands of David Meeker, executor
for the heirs when found and was signed
by King e Rogers attorneys. A CORE
spondence with the attorneys has developed
the following facts: John s, Manson died
in San Francisco about two years ago,
bachelor, and possessed of property
since appraised, by order of the probate
court at over 100000. The court appointed
David Meeker, of San Francisco, executor of
| this vast estate, and he had been trying ever
since to find heirs to it. General Manson's
attention being called to the advertisement
in the manner stated, he and other members
of the family residing in Ohio, are now
taking proper steps to secure the estate,
which they will undoubtedly do, as no other
relatives of John S. Manson are known
to exist. They have been proceeding
very quietly with the matter, not wish
ing to have the public know anything about
1t until they came in full possession OF the
property, but the news of their good fortune
has leaked out by piecemeal until it is not
considered necessary to try to keep the mat
ter a secret any longer. and so publicity is
given to it,in order that the generals friends
hereabouts may rejoice with him in this
wonderful streak of luck. $685..
