LONG LOST
WILL HAS
SHOWN UP

The will OF Seth F.. Winch, formerly a
business man of Omaha, Neb., after being
lost for many years has finally shown up
and been flied for probate in Omaha by
Attorney Elmer T.. Thomas OF that city,
the mar who lost II.
There are two daughters Of Mr.. Winch
now living in Providence. They are Mrs.
Emily S. Oatman and Mrs. Frederic AL
drich. Mr.. Winch went west in 1878 and
accumulated considerable wealth and
property in Nebraska and Iowa
During his residence in the west. up
TO the last few years, Winch returned
TO his family here two or three times a
year. He filed a petition for divorce in
1892 and Mrs. Winch fled a cross petit
ton. She was victorious and besides the
divorce was granted $50, 900 alimony.
Winch had previously secured the SER
vices OF Mrs. Miranda T. Mitchell, a house
Mr..
Winch had secured the divorce was mar
RED TO her. This marriage was later adj
judged illegal because OF n statute that
divorced people should not be married
within six months.
Winch in 1891 made a will in which
he made numerous requests 10 charitable
institutions. lie also transferred to Mrs.
Mitchell by deed considerable real estate.
The will also provided that Mrs. Mitchell
was 10 nave $50 a monrn for life n GER
tain property in Omaha, which was 70
be held I'm trust during her lifetime.
The will was witnessed by two lawyers
and two bankers and three OF them are
atill living. To It was attached a GER
tifcate that Mr.. Winch was physically and
mentally sound at the time 1t was made.
1.le estate has been the subject OF
much litigation. in which victory has
perched on the banner of the eastern
heirs. A large part or IL has dwindled
away during the litigation. The finding
OF the will will probably bring the matter
into court again.
