WILL IN A WATCH CASE
Pierson Lamborn Left All His Prop
d. erty to His Wife.


d. erty to His Wife.
A brief and unique will was produced
recently at the Office Of the Recorder OF
Deeds David G. Beverly and examined
by his deputy. Nelson Z. woodward, saws
the West Chester Local News. 1t was the
will Of the late Pierson Lamborn, Of East
Marlborough township. Mr.. Lamborn
died on April 10th, 1905, and was supposed
to be intestate. On April oath, eight days
later, his widow H. Minnie Lamborn, was
granted letters of administration. and
started TO settle his estate, which is a
small one.
Since tina. she has found a will. In over
hauling his personal belongings his watch
was opened and a small piece Of paper
was found tucked away in the case. This
proved TO be a will, in which all his
property was left TO his wife. This was
a very welcome find for the widow. as un-
der the intestate laws the property would
have been shared by others.
The following is the language OF the
will:
Il leave alfI have to my dear wife.
Mimic Lamborn. She is TO have every
thing. just as it is. I wish there was more.
but what there is is for her.
'Signed) PIERSON LAMBORN.
"Aprn 10. 1905"
It was in his own writing and no one
could question its genuineness. Two wit
hesses who are familiar with his hand
writing will be necessary to establish it
legally. When that is done the Register
% Wills will rcvolra fha laftore uf od-
ministration already granted and grant
letters testamentary.
The paper that the will is written on is
about three inches long and two inches
wide.
