The will of the late Rear Admiral Henry
c. Taylor was filed for probate yesterday
afternoon. By the terms of the instrument
the entire estate of the testator was left to
his wife, Mrs. Mary Mcclure Taylor, who
is also named as executrix. The document
was a little out of the ordinary, inasmuch
as the will of Mrs. Taylor was written on
the same sheet of paper, and In it she made
the admiral the sole beneficiary. This last
will of course becomes void by reason of
the death of the admiral.
