fund which was released by the death
of Mrs. Hetty Green The amount of
the fund is exactly 81, 635. 557.66 and
is to be distributed among $40 heirs.
Mrs. Green received the interest ON
the amount, according to the will of her
aunt, Sylvia Ann Rowland, and at her
death TO he distributed among the
heirs of her grandfather. For over
30 years Mr.. Russell has assisted the
genealo9ist in gathering data concern
ing his family, which has been traced
to the landing of John Rowland in
1870, in the Mayfower. his great-great-
grandmother being the daughter of
Gideon Rowland Of New Bedford.
Mass.
One OF the trustees writing to Mr..
Russell says the distribution will soon
begin and will be settled without anv
great lapse Of time. The amount each
heir will receive is difficult to esti-
mate as the law requires the distribu-
tion TO begin with the oldest descend
ants.
When asked by a friend if his share
would be something like $4,000, Mr..
Russell replied: ~ am not at liberty
to say He is in the line of the
first descendants and will be among
the first in sharing.
