l CORREcTIoE--Out of respect to
tishes OF f. J.. Stimson of Browns
Id a cousin Of the late Col. Harry
Irs, we desire to make a few cor
1,ns Of some of the statements made
: i.r article in the TRANSCRIPT Sept.
t gin regard to "a Neglected Grave.
:, ! Mr.. Stimson says the Col. did not
! $4,000 Of property. MIR; stimson
$ we'd the life insurance only, which
!, anted to about $4,000. His othei
IL erty consisted Of 24O acres of land in
0 Ter county, three or four lots in
e 1nsdale, and one or two lots in Aus,
n tMiss Richardson, the Colonies at
e fed, who was given the real estate,
u Stimson thinks, sold the land fol
d $40 per acre, but the amount she
- we'd for the lots he does not know
y Swould seem that the total value Of
n state, including the life insurance,
D not have been much in excess OF
l. 20. instead of $4,000 as stated. He
IL says that it is not true that he was
e (Rogers' only living relative. The
s. father and mother were dead, but
!. Is now some six uncles living, besides
" rrous cousins He says most of the
:! IS are rich, but as they are Quakers,
D. do not believe in spending money
" fave stones. Mr.. Stimson says the
r. in he did nothing toward stone al
time was because Miss Richardson
t. ed the remains removed to her home
ID E east. The matter remained IN this
n tiled condition until Miss r. died
20 3Ir. Stimson had become involved ir
5, tial difficulties. It is but due to Mr.
If son that this much should be said ir
E. bhalf, and also that he is willing tt
le sder the blame. He acknowledges
e listake in not attending to the mat
II tars ago when he was able to do it.
