Heaven City, 130 Acre Colony inHdrtland Twp.,Sold at MortgageSale for $3,200 to Satisfy Judgmen tLeaden Declare School and Colony Will Proceed oh the Same BasisThe 130 aerea _of Jarrd upon which Heaven City colony stands In Hart-land township was sold at auction, at Woodstobk the forepart-of-the wedk. The successful bidder was Rudolph J, Amling, a Waukegan agent* for the mortgagee, who had previously obtained a Judgment in the circuit against Mrs. Shirley P. Talcott. Heaven City sold for $3,-200. Thirty people are now enrolled in school, parents as well as children, according to leaders.Seeking information as to whether the sale would mean the taking over of Heavem Sty colony and school by others, The Herald interviewed pr. A- J/ Moore, leader, and his secretary, Mrs. Talcott. “We are to remain' at the farm,** they said. Negotiations are now under way wherOliy we are to be given a clear title, to the property and plans are in the making for the erection of permanent buildings. ^rA Friendly Proceeding“The court action and mortgage sale Is what might be termed a friendly proceeding. It is mainly to settle the estate of the,late Wm. J. Thiele, who held a $12,750 mortgage. He left a will and his heirs desired the foreclosure.v Especially interesting to people of the Harvard community is the price the land brought at the sale on Feb. 29—J24vGl.'per acre* n?t* much mop 'than one-tenth the reputed value when the property was acquired ten years ago.Mrs. S. P. Talcott, long Identified with Heaven Cltyr asks to make a public statement, as follows\ “Ijim not^ the leader of Heaven City, but have been for years” a student, particularly of 'metaphysics, and have acfed as secretary of A. J. Moore, leader. Heaven City is a school, probably the only one Jn the country that bblievfes in the necessity of teaching parents as much ps the children and^ makes- provision for so doing by providing all the necessities of life for the entire family during the school period, which may be long or short.Heaven City Not a Colt“Heaven City is not a cult, but few people exist today without religion of some sort. I am an accredited public school teacher. Miss C, C. Clement. B. B., B. S. D.. taught high .school for several years before taking up her ^work at the school. Her brother, 6r. John Clement, is instructor in philosophy at the University of Illinois. Another brother Is superintendent of schools at Independence, Kan.“As most Harvard people are aware, neither Fred Kuebler nor Wm. Thiele were ever connected with Heaven Clty.“
