Fortune to the Fisher Family - 1892
Can anyone help me by providing further information about the following quote I found in a letter written on March 7, 1892, by David Frantz (my ggg grandfather) to John Henry Frantz (my gg grandfather):
"Now there is a great fortune coming to the Fisher Familys. $51,000,000.Fifty one million dollars.We have apiece of newspapers out of the Lynchburg paper.It says $25,000 apiece for 2000 heirs and I am one and your Mother is one of them.2000 heirs the papers state on the 22 day of January they met from 17 different states at Cincinnati, Ohio and the have got all the transcripts and employed 2 lawyers in Germany to establish their claims." (Spelling, punctuation and grammar uncorrected)
From what I can tell no inheritance was ever received by this family.Can anyone fill me in on the details behind this claim?
