Indians’ Bride Market At Alberta Bay Assembly Attracts Gossip

Odd Will Forbids Sale and Stakes Heirs to Marry
In St Louis the will of Wit Helwig leaves seven girls and six boys as heirs, with a surprising condition that they must marry before age 32 and also dig for buried treasure on or near the Browdway property. Helwig, a long time printer and lumber businessman, died after living at 8525 South Browdway and in later years at Soldiers Home Leavenworth and Danville. The family believes money may be hidden on the estate, and the will, probated, leaves each child a dollar, with several heirs named and some relatives missing or unknown. Irene Pay of Chicago is the sole marriageable grandchild, age 19, among a brood of younger siblings and cousins.
