Family Seeks Riches
Of Remote Ancestors

Mrs. M. Smalley, Mrs. V. N. Me Roland, and below, Russell and
Clarence Himmelrick
OAKLAND. Cal., April 5.—Heirs
to $850,000,000!
Sounds like a dream, but it has
a tangible thread of reality for
members of one family here.
They believe themselves to be the
direct descendants of two men
whose names loomed large in fin
ancial annals of three countries a
century and a half ago.
Through the tangled mazes of
genealogical history, through many,
ristortions of family names, these)
people, two brothers and three sis
ters. have traced their relationship
to former financiers, long since
dead, whose originally vast fortunes
have multiplied to an astounding
degree during the intervening years.
The family, which has already
filed claims to the larger of the
two estates involved in a St. Louis
court, sonsists cf Russell and Clear
ence Himmelrick; Mrs. M. Smal
ley and Mrs. V. N. McRoland, who
makes their home in the Eastbay
region, here, and Mrs. M. V. Berry
of Auburn, California.
Estate Near Billion
One estate, now valued by Russell
Himmelrick at $810,000,000, centers
around the original fortune of John
Emmerich of Amsterdam, Holland,
and his nephew. Alexander, Him
melrich, an emigrant in this coun
try, who is believed to have been
burned to death while in the Civil
War.
Emmerich, according to Himmel
rich, was a partner of John Jacob
Astor, one of the founders of New
York, in the fur trading business
which was the basis of the famous
Astor fortune.
The other large estate involved
is valued at $40,000,000. It is that
of William Jennings, en English
bachelor who died intestate in 1799
at the age of 98 years.
This fortune according to the
findings of Mrs. S. R. W. Corey
Los Angeles (Cal.) genealogist, em
puoyed by the Himmelrocks, was
placed by the courts in control of
distant relatives.
Jennings Estate Famous
The Jennings estate is so famous
that heirs living in or near Los
Angeles, have formed a “Jennings
association.” They meet each
month like any other organization!
and discuss progress in settling the
estate. The Himmerlricks have
just recently become members of
this association, since they learned
of their relationship to Jennings.
The story of the Emmerich money
has long been a tradition in the
Himmelrick family, however. The
father of the Oakland heirs is said
to have spent many years in tracing
down the geneology and handed
on his knowledge of the facts to
his children.
Russell Himmelrick tells of hav
ing made many trips, of having
written countless letters and of in
terviews with “old timers” who
knew Alexander Himmelrick the
Civil War hero, in attempting to
establish his family’s claim to the
fortune. His efforts are now being
rewarded, for according to Russell
Himmerlrick, the original will of
John Nichols Emerich. about
whose fortune many legal doc
uments exist in Holland, has'
been found in St. Louis.!
The will. he says, is being
held in chancery to allow for filing
of claims pending final settlement, j
Severa LHundred Claimants
There are several hundred known
claimants to the two estates, but
the Himmelricks believe their
shares when the fortunes are event
ually divided will be about $2,500,000
apiece.
Russell Himmelrick is an auto
mobile salesman and his brother
Clarence drives a laundry wagon
Russell until a short time ago was
proprietor of an ice cream conces
sion in an Oakland ballroom, and
his sister Mrs. Smally assisted him
The other twro sisters keep house
for husbands cf moderate means.

Gains Health And
Fourteen Pound
“I gained 14 pounds on thr<
bottles of Sargon.
“It mastered every one of my ai
ments and kept me on the job.
never felt better in my life than
do nov,r,” said S. U. Blakely, we
S. r. BLAKELEY |
known resident of 1125 Laurel St.fl
Beaumont, recently. ■
“Before I starred on Sargon *
was so weak and rundown thatfl
many days I had to stay at homA
and let my work go. I had a ba J
case of chronic indigestion . ancfl
after eating I suffered so mucl*
from gas pains* dizziness, he&rtfl
palpitation and smothering spell*
that I dreaded to see mealtime’
come. I lost weight rapidly and
? felt exhausted from under-nourish
' ment.
“Biliousness and constipation
added to my suffering and my kid
neys were so badly disordered that
there was a hard pain across the
small of my back and I had to get
up several times every night. This,
broke into my sleep and brought!
on extreme nervousness. I
“The medicine I took didn't help
me. and I heard so many of my
neighbors praising Sargon I de
cided to try it. Now, I too, want
to help spread the good news to
other sufferers. Sargon helped me
from the first. I began to eat big.
wholesome meals without a bit of
trouble afterward. The pain In
my back disappeared and I never
have to get up at night now. Sar
gon Soft Mass Pills ended every
trace of constipation and bilious
ness. My nerves are steady, I have
gained weight, and I feel so well it
is hard to realize I was ever in the
bad shape I was. Sagron deserves
all the praise I can give it.”
Sargon may be obtained in
Brownsville from Cisneros Drug
