A FORTUNE FOR BOME ONE.
In the year 1855 one John Fenster
macker, enlisted in the regular army at
Wilkesbarre, Penn, He was discharged
from the army October, 1858. At the
time of his enlistment he was a young
man probably not over 22 years of age.
He has recesity’died, leaving a fortune
and without any known heirs. At the
tine of his death he was about 54 or bb
ears old. Weight about 160 pounds,
eight about 5 feet 8 inches, and heavy
built, rather dark complexion; illiterate.
1 am of the opinion that he was born in
Jefferson or Centre county, Penn. He
was often heard to speak of “Easton cn
the Delaware.” I am fully satisfied that
his early life was spent in eastern Penn,
and that in all propability he has re-
lations living there now, 1 am tring to
find his heirs, and if the press will assist
me by giving these statements general
publicity, I am inclined to think we
may discover them. Should we discover
