c. L. Puher's VIII.
The will of Chandler E. Puffer, who
died April 3, has been read, and it makes
these requests: To the Congregational
church society is given $500 to be held in
trust. For the purpose of erecting a monu-
ment in Maple Grove cemetery 5000 is APP
propriated, conditional upon Mr.. Puffer's
brother, E. A. Puffer of Meriden, Conn.,,
giving like amount for the same purpose.
The Maple Grove Cemetery association is
given 500 with which to take care of Mr..
Puter's lot. The residue of the estate is
to be equally divided between Mrs. Fisher
of Windsor, Miss Florence Locke of East
Putney, Nellie Kyle of New York, now
married. and Miss Agnes Sturgeon of New
York. Mrs. Fisher was a sister of Mrs.
PUier, and the other residuary legatees
were intimate friends of the family, Miss
Kyle and Miss Sturgeon being summer
boarders at the farm few years ago. 1t
is understood that the $500 which is be-
lueathed to the Congregational society was
Mrs. Puffer's money and was given to the
society at her request. None of these be-
quests are to become operative until after
the death of Mr.. Puffer's mother, Mrs.
Nancy Puffer, whom Mr.. Puffer was bound
by contract with his brothers to provide
for as long as she lives in order to gain title
to one-half of the homestead and farm.
