isfact'oD Of his claim and execution.

SoAAS~A 80 ASS6 ALI VI 0St 4OE SuhIl6S m,
Farrand by David G. Whittlesey, Trus-
tee," which constitutes the present
trust for Cha rles M. Farrand or his heirs.
David G. Whttlesey died In October,
1888. He had made several Efforts to
find Charles M. Farrsnd, the other heir
and legatee but his papers fail to show
any claim being made or any knowledge
obtained that Charles NJ. Farrand was
living and his share has remained in the
Savings Bank since. 1882, over II year,
and more than go years since the origi-
nal estate came into my fathers hands.
In September, 1898, l, as executor Of the
will OF my father, David c. Whittlesey,
| made application to the Probate Court of
this district for the appointment of some
| suitable person as trustee in place of my
father, now deceased. The application
was accepted and was appointed Sep
TENDER %, 1898, to execute the trust
held by my father at his decease. Or
same day l accepted and qualified as
trustee and took possession OF the estate.
Since then l have made continuous and
Charles M. Farrand or any of his heirs.
Have traced him to Mineral Point, Wis,
then to San Domingo, where / lost all
trace and my letters were returned un.
called for. And have every reason to
believe the said Charles M. Farrand
is dead and died leaving no children.
| Assuming this to be fact the estate
must go to next of kin or to the three
children Of John Farrand as per Genoa
logical exhibit below:
1st. John Farrand had three, Abigail,
Anna and John W.
End. Abigail, dead leaving no children.
End. Anna, married Lewis r, Ford,
both dead, had ak children, viz John
M. Ford, living. Edgar A. Ford, dead,
| left one child.
George L. Ford, dead, left nine chill
dren. Henry r. Ford, dead, left one
child. Catherine and Mary, both dead,
| no children.
2nd. John W., dead, three children :
John W., Jr., Charles M, one girl, all
dead, no children.
II the above be correct the heirs to es-
tate now in my hands are the children of
Anna Farrand and Lewis r. Ford, viz :,
| one portion to John M. Ford (liying)
one portion to child Of Edgar A. Ford
| (deceaged), one portion to nine children
Of George L. Ford (deceaeed). one por-
ton to child of Henry r. Ford (deceased)
l would also state that the II acres of
land in Warren was sold for taxss about
| 1886 or and is not considered worth re-
deem nR or OF any value.
In regard to the trusteeship of the
Farrand estate by my father, David @.
Whittlesey, will say THE: His account
with John w. Farrand, father of George
MI. Farrand, dates back to October %,
1888, and continues to May /, 1898. He
then obtained execution against Farrand
for balance OF $50, and levied on the u
acres OF woodland Ia Warren. Apprais.
ed value 81 per acre or $4s which was
| set off to him in satisfaction of his exc
cution. At various times previous to
1882 he sold wood from this land amount
ing to $4S9. II. It also appears from his
books that after paying his own claim
and taxes he distributed to the Farrand
heirs $40l SO. There does not appear in
| any OF the letters, book accounts or pa
pers of the late David 6. Whittlesey or
10 the town or probate records of Wash
ington. LItchfield or Warren fraction
OF evidence or any intimation that any
person or court appointed him trustee of
the Farrand Estate or that he was ever
appointed as the word trustee or trust
funds 10 not mentioned at any place or
time. The inference ID unmistakab1e
that he acted as self Constituted trustee
