Will opens vault in search of Driesbach fortune
Prothonotary opens Daniel G. Driesbach’s vault after a court order. The will names Annie Packer as wife, sole heir and executor, while his children Wilber G.

The estate once valued at about $450,000 to $500,000 reportedly dwindled to a $1,800 policy, a $1,000 judgment note, and $450 cash along with an unclear remainder.
