that her father had died, leaving all his
property to her and her sister, for use
during their life time. The survivor Of
the two was to inherit all. and at her
death the property was to be divided
among all her descendants who might
| then be alive.
Mrs. Meunch outlived her sister by
many years, and died in Jersey City a
year ago, shortly after she Rad cele-
Lrated her ninety-slXth birthday She

The statement that Sergt. Zimmerman
