among US who liked him greatly
thought he WAS mistaken and voted
against him, but not without some COM
junction. After that election he
seemed to lose interest in his surround
ings. and gradually broke down till ne
died"
The house on the hill is lonely
enough now. Following the death of
Gabrielle's parents within few weeks
of each other, came that Of her sister
Ida, the wife of Col. Nicholas Smith,
leaving three children, who are now
being educated in a convent school.
There has been some delay in settling
up the estate, which originally stood in
the name OF Mary Y. C. Greeley, the
wife OF the statesman editor. and
whose will was lately probated. Horace
Greeley, in his Lifetime, bought
various small pieces of property at
Chappaqua as he took a fancy TO them.
! talked with Messrs. Porter and Kill
vert, the counsel in charge OF the
Greeley estate, concerning the family
possessions.
''He would see a nice little tree" said
Mr. Porter. and he would buy the land
about 1t. He bought some eighty
three acres altogether in about
twenty different parcels, some
In his own name and others in
that of his wife. The farm was pur-
chased in her name about 25 years ago,
and it 40 stood till the day OF her death.
He conveyed the other property also to
Mrs. Greeley, and when she died her
will directed that the estate be sold
and legally divided between her two
daughters, Ida and Gabrielle. Mr.
Greeley died soon after his wife. Then
the will was probated, and both the
executors. Orestes Cleveland and oliver
Johnson, being dead, we began proceed
ings in tho Supreme Court, asking that
a trustee be appointed. Israel Haight {,
of Chappagua, was named by the court
Then a sale was ordered, and the estate
was put up az public auction, and, no
one appearing to compete, IL was sold
20 Miss Gabrielle Greeley for $40. 000
This was done so shat she might be
enabled to deposit 6. 600 al once to the
J credit of the children OF her dead sister,
Ida. which she did, and II is now in a
Brooklyn Trust Company. Mr.. Greeley
was also the owner when he died of a
large gold mining property in Buck
inghsm County, Na-some 200, acres,
I think. It is not being operated at
present and we cannot tell its value.
There is other property, too, in Erie
County. Pa. in which brother Of Mr..
Greeley mas life interest. There are

Wcss which still remain 20 oe realized
upon. The estate Of Mrs Greeley Is
