CANNOT FIND
 WOMAN'S HEIRS

Because no trace can be found of the heirs of Phoebe Gorfam, who lived in Stratford about 1790 and who once held title to Straford property now known at Miller Park, Elizabeth Seitzinger and Willard R. Miller have started proceedings in the Superior court to quiet the title to the land. As Willard R. Miller is a. minor the suit was brought in his behalf by Anne BeSsant-
 It is claimed that Elizabeth Seitzin- ger got g. ona-third interest in the property from Alma E. Caprihian, formerly. of Stratford Willard R Miller claims a two-thirds interest. A number of lots in the tract have been sold but in order to clear up the chain of title to the parcel which fronts on NitcheH's lane the present owners wish to be certain that no heirs of Phoebe Gorhaanr will appear in the fu- ture and claim an interest in the property. The suit is returnable to the April term of court.
