Light changes Ex County Commissioners finish line work
Light changes Ex.County Commissioner A J Meredith Andrew Light and Eliak Risser finished their work as viewers appointed to establish the line between North Londonderry and North Annville townships. Only slight changes will be recommended. SPANG HEIRS IN CONFERENCE: The heirs of John George Spang held a conference at Reading for the purpose of raising additional funds to ward prosecuting the claim for the fortune they believe their ancestor left in Germany about 150 years ago. The heirs wish to send two agents to Germany, Mr Kalbach and Henry Gerhart, but the subscriptions have been coming in very slowly. The conference was held for the purpose of renewing the efforts to raise this money and some funds were secured toward this fund. Mr Kalbach read several letters from parties in Germany stating that there was no doubt as to the existence of the fortune but that it would require considerable work to establish the claim of the American heirs.
