The mystery of the quaint little widows real identity remains so deep, even yet, that Philadelphias bureau of vital statistics cant affirm that she ever was born. So far as the courts have been able to determine, no known heirs were alive when Mrs. Garrett was buried beside her wealthy, shoe manufacturing husband in Laurel Hill cemetery, leaving 17,549,642.58 which she hadnt bothered to mention in a will! Childless, eccentric, clad always in black, she lived and died so unobtrusively that in the 35 years preceding her death in 1930 it is said that she left her brownstone house only once. Grows 500,000 Yearly Yet the fortune, now totaling 20,000,000 and still growing at the rate of 500,000 a year, is claimed by no less than 26,000 persons. They come from virtually every walk of life, from every state in the union except Maine and Vermont, and from 39 foreign countries. Even the commonwealth of Pennsylvania is in the ring, claiming the estate by escheat (forfeit). Three Pennsylvania legislatures have thought enough of the states claim to appropriate a total of 150,000 to support it. For nearly six years a special master has been shaking family trees in search of the rightful heir, if any. He has heard only 3500 claims, but already testimony fills 141 volumes of 300 pages each and record rooms bulge with 3400 exhibits. Murder, tragedy, scandal and fraud splotch many of the records. Fraudulent Claim Made In a German town a man slew his uncle and aunt in a quarrel over the vast wealth, then killed himself. Members of a Pennsylvania family forged Bible and birth certificates to support a fraudulent claim. Witnesses have disappeared mysteriously. Hundreds have committed perjury. Friends knew Mrs. Garrett as the former Henrietta Edwardina Schaefer, daughter of a German born cabinet maker, Christopher Schaefer, who came to America before 1838, and married Henrietta Kretschmar, also German born. According to testimony, Walter Garrett, scion of a colonial snuff family and its heir, saw the apple cheeked Schaefer girl scrubbing the porch of her home one day in 1872, fell in love and married her a few months later. Husband Died in 1915 Their life together apparently was happy, but after he died in 1915 she became almost a recluse, living with two servants in her red brick house on then fashionable Ninth street. It all seemed simple enough until an inventory disclosed her vast wealth a year after her death. Everything about her became a mystery. Her birth, it was discovered, never had been recorded. Census records gave her father a variety of first names. Even his arrival in the United States couldnt be proved.
