Specidi TO the Indianapolis journal
RICHMOND, Ind, March l0.-The matter
of large estate, which is located in New
Jersey, is being investigated. and it seems
pretty certain that a million of dollars
may be divided among heirs living in this
and Randolph counties. So far the facts
are known, the estate, sixty-three years
ago, was paid into court in a county of
New Jersey. Mrs. Elizabeth Lark had re-
moved to this State, and at about the time
the money was paid into court she and her
, husband separated and she soon after died
without having made claim to the money.
The money not being paid to the heirs it
went into the State treasury of New Jer-
sey, and it has been there ever since. This
money is now about to be claimed by the
grandchildren of Mrs. Lank. All that is
necessary is for the grandchildren to make
satisfactory proof that they are the heirs
and this money will be paid to them.
The Hornburys, living in the north part
of this county and Randolph county are
heirs Mrs May Mcintyre, of this city,
will also in for large portion of
the estate When a few more facts are
learned an attorney will be sent from here
. to New Jersey to make an investigation.
