Former Martin Woman Claims Share in Estate Mrs. Laura Edmund Claims She is Niece of Mark Hopkins yHftrs. Laura Edmund, a Martin County woman now living in Green ville, is preparing to set up her claim to the $300,000,000 Hopkins estate in California. Up to date there are a bout 150 claimants of the estate. Mrs. Edmund claims to bo the only child of John Hopkins, who was a brother of Mark Hopkins, who went to California in the famous gold rush of 1849. He made good and entered the railroad field and cheap lands of the west and his estate is now esti mate to be worth $300,000,000. The North Carolina heirs have em-' ployed a large number pf able law-J yers and have brought action before ( Judge E. V. Webb, of the western dis trict of North Carolina federal court, to open the case on account of fraud.' Mrs. Edmund knew nothing about it until by chance she was told by a neighbor in Greenville, to whom the old lady, now 83 years'of age, was relating her family history. -She told that she was a Hopkins, arid that her uncles, Mark and Moses, went to Cal ifornia when she was a child. . Her lriend then told her of the great Hop kins estate that has been the subject of so much litigation in the courts. Mrs. Edmund seems to have a clear line of kinship leading to the estate, j being the nearest of kin to her bache lo'r uncle. Mrs. Edmund and her two daugh ters, Misses Annie and Gattie, resided in Williamston for about 10 or 12 years. They were seamstresses, doing dressmaking for a large number of Williamston people. Misses Ethel Griffin and Emma Robertson have returned from New York where they attended school at Columbia university for the past sev eral weeks.
