Inherits Legacy

Greeley, Colo., Aug. 25 -- While looking over old documents given by her mother years ago, Mrs. Anna E. Foster, wife of a farmer northeast of here today found evidence sufficient, it is believed, to establish her claim to a share of the estate of Nathan Springer, which includes valuable land in the Shenandoah valley of Virginia, and part of the site of Wilmington, Del. The document shows that these properties were leased by Nathan Springer for 39 years at a nominal rent, and that the lease is about to expire. Mrs. Foster's maiden name was Johnson and her mother's was Lydia Springer. The latter was a grandchild of Nathan Springer one of the wealthiest plantation owners in Wes. Virginia. The vast Springer estate fell into disuse during the Civil war and after that much of it was abandoned. The property today covered by the lease is now valued at ten million dollars and Mrs. Foster, with other grandchildren and great grandchildren hope to prove their claim to the estate. --Humbold Union.

Mrs. E. Songer and Mrs. Frank Bulick, of this city, are great-grandchildren of the deceased mentioned above and will share with other great-grand-children in the division of the large Springer estate as soon as a settlement can be made.
