A6 * 1. OFFGALSFEAS WENDEL WEALT Labor Department Division Chief Traces Lineage With Two Bibles. A local Government official who be- lieves he is the closest living blood rela- tion to Ella V. von Wendel, wealthy New York spinster, who recently died | leaving an estate valued at approxi- mately $100,000,000, today filed claim to | the vast fortune. He is Shelby ith of Mount Rainier, Md., chief of division of publica- | tions and supplies of the Department of | Labor, whose great-grandfather was the | father of Ella V. von Wendel. | Mr. Smith traces his ancestry through | two family Bibles, one of which was owned by John Gottlieb Mathias Wen- del, who was born in Altonia, Denmark, | August 15, 1767, later emigrating to | New York, where he married Elizabeth Astor, daughter of John Jacob Actor. | Grandparents Eloped. 3 They had one son, John Daniel Wen- | del, whose daughter, Mary Louella ‘Wendel, eloped to Ripley County, Ind., with James Henry Smith, grandfather of Shelby Smith. Some time after the birth of Henry John Smith, Mr. Smith’s father, Mary Louella Wendel Smith died and James Henry Smith married a Misg Stansbury, whose descendants have also filed claims to the estate. Shelby Smith had two brothers. One died when 13 years of age; the other died a few years ago, leaving five chil- dren. Mr. Smith first had his attention called to his claim to the Wendel estate by an attorney for those nieces and nephews, who wrote him from Jackson, Miss, a few days ago. Skeptical, he paid scant attention to the letter. It was followed, however, by & long- distance telephone call and later the at- torney himself came to Washington by lane. Convinced that his claim is legitimate, Mr. Smith signed the neces- sary papers and the attorney left by plane late Saturday for New York, where they will be filed today.
