WILSON'S WIDOW
Surprised by the Appearance of
Kentucky Heirs Who Have
q Claim to Present.

Ii will be remembered by the readers oi
the BAzoo that Brooks Wilson, well known
! in this city, died about two months ago
leaving quite large estate, az 1t was sup
posed at that time by majority of those
who knew the Diseased, to be divided be-
tween his wife and three children, these
being supposed 10 be, the sole heirs
of the estate. 1t has since trsnspired,
however, that Mr.. Wilson had
nine children Tin Kentucky by his first
wife, to whom he was married twenty-five
or thirty years ago.
Right here, quite q little romance
in real life comes to the surface.
1t seems that Wilson became enamored
of his brothers widow and some fourteen
years ago he brought her TO Missouri where
he placed her on a farm. He then went TO
Indiana and procured divorce from his
first wife, Immediately after which he re-
turned TO this state and married his sister
in-law, with whom he lived to the day of
his death, three children being born of this
marriage, all of whom are living. Very
few, if any of the acquaintance
of the family had any idea If
the existence of the divorced wife
and the nine children in Kentucky, who
had not heard from the recrent husband
and father for fifteen years.
Upon the death of Wilson his Missouri
widow was appointed administrative of his
estate. But now come the Kentucky heirs
who arrived in this city last Thursday
night and who seriously object to
Mrs. Wilson number two administering
upon the estate. and took immediate steps
TO have her appointment as administrator
revoked. Tosave the delay in the settlement OF
the estate which a long and complicated
litigation would cause, and 10 avoid other
troubles, Mrs. Wilson yesterday published
a notice of hereintentiOn TO resign her trust.
The interests of the Kentucky heirs are in
the hands OF V. T. Shaw, and it is needless
to SAYS that by him they will be carefully
guarded.

west front was put in by the contri-
buttons of the Sabbath School at a
cost Of S250.00 and is very beautiful
in design and workmanship.
The seating of the church Is rather
novel, being assembly chairs similar to
those used in the best halls in the
country. They were furnished by
Thomas Kane & Co., of Chicago, on
very reasonable terms and are very
comfortable and give a fine effect to
the room.
Chandeliers simple, yet elegant in
design, hang from the ceiling, while a
carpet of pleasing pattern covers the
floors.
Some more work will still be needed
to fully complete the building. When
completed and furnished it Will cost
not far from $4,000. This estimate
includes the finishing of the room
upstairs which was not contemplated
in the original designs, but owing to
the increase in the sabbath school i,
is now evident that it will be needed
at no distant day.
A remarkable harmony has pervad
ed every move in regard to the ertc
tion of this building, and the people
of the village and the society take {
just pride in its completion. 1t al
once removes an eyesore from prom
inent corner and substitutes tasteful
building in it's place.
