TEAMSTER MAY Be
HEIR TO 100000
WOMAN WHO DIED IN SAN FRAN
CISCO YEAR AGO is THOUGHT
TO BE A RELATIVE

Marshalltown, Dec. 28. Fred A.
Armstrong, a teamster Of this city,
firmly believes he Is the sole heir OF
an estate of between 100000 and $40.
900 left by woman known as Miss
Margaret Thomas, formerly Of Du
. buque, who died in San Francisco al
most year ago.
! A newspaper story sent out from
Dubuque recently, which carried news
I Of the visit to Dubuque of a San
Francisco attorney seeking informa
ton concerning Miss Thomas and
her heirs, attracted Armstrong; at
tention.
Armstrong thinks that the Miss
Thomas referred to was in reality his
mother, Mrs. Margaret Armstrong
Thomas. He had not heard from her
since 1898, or when he was serving In
the Spanisb-American war Mrs
Thomas was then in San Francisco
and was teaching school. The Miss
Thomas referred to was also school
teacher in San Francisco. The dead
| woman was about the same age Arm.
strong says his mother was.
Armstrong says he was born in
Freedom, N. ". Feb. rs, 1879, and
that his name originally was Fred A.
! Thomas. The name Thomas, how,
ever, was later changed by a New
! York court to Armstrong. Arm
strong knows nothing Of his father,
,, but presumes that some unhappy Cir
cumstance led to the separation of
his parents. He was separated from
his mother when he was about II
years old and did not see her again
until she came to Detroit when he
was on his way south as an enlisted
soldier. While he was in the army
he heard from his mother several
times, but later lost track Of her. He
presumed that she had lost her life
In the San Francisco earthquake.
