The Real Estate All Conveyed to the
Widow Before His Death
ADMINISTRATOR IS APPOINTED
Petition OF Hugh Eldridge Granted
Superior Court
Notes

The application of Hugh Eldridge
for letters of administration of the
estate Of the late Edward Eldridge was
granted by Judge Winn in probate
yesterday morning. Theresa j. Ell
bridge, the mother of the petitioner,
joined in the petition.
1t will be remembered that the peti.
ton set forth that the deceased was
not at the time of his death seized of
any real estate, and that the estate con-
sisted of personal property of the esti-
mated value of 500, 600. As Captain
Eldridge was supposed to be one of the
largest landowners of the county this
announcement caused considerable sur
prise. The mystery was explained
yesterday when deed in which Ed
ward Eldridge, for the consideration of
81, conveyed to Theresa Eldridge all
the real estate owned by the grantor,
was filed with Auditor Collier. This
deed bears date of September l3, 1892,
nearly a month after the beginning of
Captain Eldridge's fatal illness. The
descriptions of the property conveyed
fills five typewriter pages. The real
estate transferred by this deed is as
follows:
