died at her home in New Vienna, o., I'd Of
First month, 1885, aged nearly 76 years.
She was the fourth in a family Of eleven

She was married ct the age Of nineteen
to Joseph Oonard, and resided in Chester
and Lancaster counties until the spring Of
ls46, when they removed to Highland
county, o., four miles east Of New Vienna,
Here, when the trials Of pioneer life were
about surmounted, and the prospect bright
for comfortable home, in 1885, eigh

The samuel GIst Estats.

Another effort is now being made to
bring this celebrated case TO e. conclusion,
and to that end the benehciaries under the
will have been holding meetings and rails
ing funds 70 prepare for vigorous pros
ecution Of their claim, and have employed
Olin j. Ross az their attorney, to force TIE
matter to the attention Of the Virginia
Courts where Il has never yet been raised
and heard.
It will be remembered that in 1916 q
millionaire by the name Of Samuel Gist
died, leaving a vast landed estate in Vir-
ginia, comprising most Of the realty in
three counties, and which he willed 20 be
placed in the hands Of two trustees, 20 be
forever worked and managed for the ez-
press benefit Of his slaves whom he had
emaucipated. Schools and churches we're
to be built for them, and the great duty Of
these trustees was to look after the happi-
ness and welfare Of these slaves. But the
negroes claim that this has never been
done, and that in all the seventy years
since then they have received only few
thousand dollars, while the great balance
has gone TO the pockets Of some one else,
and that they have been made the helpless
victims Of one Of the most gigantic swindles
Of the age and it would seem that this is
the case.
There is no question about the existence
Of the property, or that the will was so
made for copy Of the same, covering about
Fifty pages, is on record in our own Court
House, or that the slaves can prove they
are the ones intended, but the question is,
have these trustees so fenced in their fraud
and swindle with legal teohnicalities 30
that the arm Of justice can not reach them
and compel them to disgorge their plunder.
II upon investigation sufficient proof can
r be obtained and enough money raised,
% three suits will be begun in the Virginia
% courts; one against the trustees to compel
- them to resign and have others appointed
/ one against the said trustees to recover the
e sum Of two million dollars with interest
- which the slaves claim has been lost tc
e them by their waste, fraud and incompe
s tency, and the last one against all thos,
IS persons who may have settled on these
lands, and siezed the same to their owl
10 use contrnry to law.
