DEATH OF: HETTY

436 CLAIMANTS
by Associated Press1


NEW BEDFORD. MaSs.-Claiming
relationship to the late Mrs. Hetty H.
Green, the richest woman in the
world" hundreds of people all over
the United States have been writing
to the trustees of the Sylvia Ann How
land estate demanding a share in the
Rowland fortune This estate, am
bunting to about $1,250,009, released
for distribution by the death of Mrs.
Green, who had life interest therein,
is to pass to the lineal descendants OF
Gideon Rowland of Dartmouth, Mass,
grandfather of the testatriX. Claim
ants are springing up daily from every
state in the union, but they are DOOM
ed to disappointment Snasmuch as
there is no foundation for their claims.
The trustees have the complete list
of the heirs, who are 1876 in number,
embracing every person who can, be
included, and have notified all of
them in regard to the coming ,dislri-
button. Although hundreds of others
who bear the name of the inheriting
families have written to the trustees,
all attempts to add to the list are
proving futile, because of the Thor
oughness and accuracy with which the
genealogy of the Howlands has been
complied. Entanglements such as fic-
ton likes to build around the inherit
ance OF great estate, do not exist in
the Rowland case. The heirs are
scattered throughout the country.
Despite a common belief that Gid
con Rowland and Mrs. Hetty Green
were descendants of John Rowland,
one Of the MayfloWer Pilgrims. the
ancestral line clearly shows that they
belong to another branch of the nu-
merous Rowland family. 49, ...
