Rev. J. @. Lemen, manager Of the Chris
tIan home has received notice that the
institution has received a windfall in
the shape Of a $780, 0 legacy left
by Mrs. Mary Robertson OF Sheboy-
gan, Wis, who died December 10, leaving
an estate valued at 500, 900. This sum is
said to be part of a legacy which Mrs.
Robertson's husband had left to their only
son. who also died a few months ago.
The legacy is for the purpose Of erecting
a building at the Christian home to be
called the Robertson Memorial. The estate
left by Mrs. Robertson is said to consist
OF city and farm property at Sheboygan
and the portion willed to the Christian
nome is valued at $50, 900 and may possibly
realize even a larger sum
Although Mrs. Robertson had been a life
long friend OF the Christian home, the
legacy comes as a great surprise to Man
ager Lemen, but is none the less welcome,
as It will now enable the carrying out of
long cherished plans for the enlargement
OF the institution. When the Robertson
legacy becomes available Manager Lemen
will have $4,000 for building purposes.
Last year a wealthy friend OF the home
who declined to have his name made pub
lie. offered $25, 900 for building improve
menus at any lime Ihat MI NS"Sn
to make use of the money for such a pur-
pose. Owing to Mrs. Lemen's long illness
and death last year, the desired improve
ments were delayed.
with the money which will be derived
from the Robertson legacy Mr.. Lemen pro-
poses to erect a dormitory building for
the children and the $25, 900 will be used
in enlarging and improving the dining hall
and the cottage reserved Tor the old folks.
The Christian home is now caring for
nearly $50 children. brought there from all
parts Of the country and about fifteen old
women. The institution is supported wholly
by charity and it's buildings cover two
blocks Of property, including a pretty park
used as a playground for the little folks.
