ONE OF HEIRS
MARTHA VIRGINIA BURTON HAS
INTEREST IN s12o,ooo,ooo
ESTATE.
HEIRS NUMBER 1000
Have Formed an Association and viii
Carry on Fight to Secure REQ
ognitlon and Get Title to
Property.

| Martha Virginia Burton of Mount
Pleasant park near Clinton, but for
merly Van Buren, county girl and
later editor of the Ottumwa Democrat.
is one of the 1000 living heirs to es
tates said to be worth the sum Of
$l20 100000, in the state of Delawars
ane, IN Sweden. Her father, who was
Sam Burton of Van Buren, county. was
one OF the original 200 heirs to the
property. He was cousin to Con-
gresham Springer, afterwards Judge
Springer of Illinois, and also to tha
millionaire, Reube Springer of Cincin-
natl. His mother was Eliza Catharlne
Springer of Kentucky.
In order to get recognition in their
tight for the big property, the heirs
nave formed the Springer Heirs assc-
citation, Miss Burton recently receiving
advlces that the association is in fair
way to accomplish its purpose and
secure its right to the gigantic prop
erty which has been In litigation for
about century. John Wallace Spring,
er, vice president OF the Continental
Trust company, and John BrisbenI
Walker, formerly of the COSMOPOLITAN
magazine are among the officers with
headquarters at Denver.
Delaware authorities have resisted
the claims of the heirs, but recently
offered $11,000,000 as compromise lie
the heirs would relinqush their
rights. Practically the entire town
site OF Wilmington is situated on land
granted Springer about 100. The
business section of Wilmington, which
Is part of the estate, was leased for
SO years in 1903 and 1t is this portion
OF the property thst is being fought
for hardest. The estate in Sweden
is valued at $40,000,O00.
This property has been In litigation
IN That respect about thirty years. The
grant OF land was to Swedish baron
ct, Carl Christopher Springer BY
whose will leases for 80 years tied
the property to others for that period
and at the expiration the heirs, then
widely scattered, began proceedings
to get hold of 1t.
Mr.. Burton along about 1875 was
active in attending meetings, ETC.. in
the first heirs association. They used
to go to st. Lous, where many of the
family then lived.
OF course at that time the member
ship was not nearly SO great as now
and with the strong band Of nearly a
thousand in the association, the heirs
believe they will be able to secure
Justice. At the time of the organiza-
ton Of the other ASSOCIATION much work
vas done and great deal of money
was spent in this country and in
Sweden and Germany, where tina
Springer family origin ated. But no
results were attained and the organi.
cation, after few years labor. gave
up the quest. Now, however, the WORK
is to be undertaken vigorously AMI
the heirs are very hopeful OF the re-.
suit.
