Wealthy Woman Who Died in
Chicago Was Emma Nelson.

Chicago, June 9-Through the death
OF his mother, Mrs. Emma Nelson Me-
Clintock, 5-year-old William McClin-
tock was left an orphan with nearly
million dollars.
It is a strange sequence of events
which has led to the making of this
young millionaire. for the bulk of the
money was made by man who never
knew or heard of the little boy or his
mother. Mr.. McClintock for sew
eral years was widely known in real
estate circles in Chicago. He came
here about fourteen years ago and. pre-
vious to that time he was a compara-
lively poor and unknown man living in
Lamars. la.
When he married Miss Emma Nelson
of Topeka. about seven years ago. he
was a millionaire several times over
through an inheritance from his first
wife, who, before he married her, was
Mrs. Sarah Hickling, a widow, with
about million dollars which came to
her through the death of her first hus-
band.
Mrs. Emma McClintock died sudden
ly from heart trouble in Chicago
whence she had come from her winter
nome in Texas. When Mr.. McClintock
| married Mrs. Hickling he came to
Chicago and the couple started house
keeping in Calumet avenue, where the
second Mrs. McClintock died. The
money which his first wife brought him
was invested in Chicago real estate,
and it has increased so much that now
Alexander Reichmsnn, who is handling
the estate. estimates that it is worth
nearly million dollars, all of which
VIII go to the son. William.
The first Mrs. McClintock lived only
a few years after her second marriage
and she left her whole fortune to her
second husbandd. He married again
within few years, and two years after
Ia a Y-,~i a 100 f6z abf Js~,x
born.
Mr.. McClintock met his death May II,
1907, in a motor car accident Mrs Nc
Clintock's relatives are living in To-
peka, and William probably will go to
| them.
| Mrs. Emma Nelson McClintock. the
Chicago lady who died Tuesday and
who formerly lived in Topeka. has
! many heirs in Topeka who may come
in for share of the large estate Of
| 6 million dollars which she is report
ed to have left. Mrs. McClintock was
formerly Miss Emma Nelson of Tope-
ka. She was married to her husband
ously been .lef. a large sum of money
by his former wife. The only direct
heir. to the estate is little 5-year-oid
William McClintock. Mr.. McCIintock
was killed in an automobile accident in
Chicago two years ago.
According to Carl E. Malmberg, of
the Palace Clothing company, there are
q, number of Topeka relatives. The
relatives who live in Topeka, all of
whom are cousins are G. A. Tulien, of
429 Taylor street. who is now in Okla
homa on a large contract deal: F. A.
Tulien of 422 Western avenue, who went
to Chicago to attend the funeral; John
Nordlund, of 234 Fillmore street, who
is also attending the funeral in Chi
cago; Sven Tulien. 31S Fillmore, and
Miss Addie Tulien, who is in Chica go.
There is another cousin, August Tulien,
of st. Marys.
Mr.. Malmberg. in talking about the
late Mrs. McChntock today said:
Emma Nelson, formerly lived in st.
Marys and it was there that she met
the man she afterward married. She
attended school at Bethany college a
Lindsburg for several years and She
made lots of friends there. None of
the relatives here know anything about
the disposition of the estate. If there
is no will the large estate of six mill
lions will go to the young boy. / think
that it is likely that he will be brought
back to Topeka and will be cared for
by his relatives here. The Tulien broth
ers are all well known contractors.
None of the relatives nor friends here
knew of the sickness of Mrs McCiin-
took and her death occaSioned no little
surprise More will be known of the
disposition of the estate when the rel
atives return to Topeka. Willie Nc
Clintock is frail boy and 1t is likely
that he will be brought back to Kan
sas for the benefit Of his health if for
no other reason
