CHRISTIAN SHUSTER
HEIRS ORGANIZE TO
CLAIM LARGE ESTATE
Continued from page /

Christian Shuster's wife was Miss
Frey. said to be the only heir of a man
named Frey who more than 100 years
ago was large land owner In Mid
dlctown, Pa, and in the vicinity of
Sunbury. After her husbands death
she received an annual allowance In
gold for many years. but 1t is said
she never knew the source of this
revenue. IL is the contention of the
heirs that the lands in question are
now held by persons not rightfully or
legally entitled TO them and II is to
recover the property from these pres
ent holders that the organization has
been formed here and the fight is to
be made.
Frey is buried I'm Middetown and
the heirs claim that IL is impossible
for anyone buying property I'm that
locality TO get a clear title to the land
because the present holders are un-
able to give such title. due to the
fact that IL Is tied up I'm the Shuster
estates and that they have no legal
right 10 their holdings. There is "A
legend among the heirs that Frey de-
clared before his death that in 106
NtblS NC Wphiu Nofilt bdch anu TeciAlfl
his property. He has been dead 1l5
years now and his prophecy about re-
turning il taken to mean that his
heirs would make the fight for the
lands.
Efforts were made about six years
ago To organize the heirs and try to
recover the estates. but this fel,
through, because at that time suffi-
cient interest could not be aroused for
one reason or another and there was no
concerted efforts made as conse-
quonce. Now. however, the 43 heirs
who live I'm Pennsylvania, Delaware.
Maryland and New Jersey and rep
resentatives OF whom We're at Tues
day nights meeting. say they are de-
termined to make a strong fight to
settle once and for all time whether
they really are the rightful heirs and
IL there Is any substantial ground for
their claim to the Pennsylvania lands.
Allen S. Ubil is a direct descendent
of Christian Shuster and he is largely
responsible for the present undertake
ing. lie has worked hard TO get the
heirs together and to bring about the
decision TO make the fight. Mr.. Ubil
is employed at the Pennsylvania rail-
road shops in this city. He has given
much study TO the history of the Frey
and Shuster families and theig ante
cedents, and evidently is convinced
the claims of himself and the other
heirs are sound.
