The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-03-21

By the will of Louisa M- Hubbell the bulk of her estate is left to her son, Henry A. Hubbe1l, in trust, with the condition that at his death, if he leaves a wife and child, or children, S3O.ooO shall go to the Bridgeport Hos pital, to erect a building to commem- crate the testatrix and her husband, the late Captain John B. Hubben.
 But it is further provided that the hospital is not to receive this bequest if the son leaves ehddren. but no wife,
 Nor is the hospital to take if the son dies bachelor.
 This somewhat novel bequest, under which the hospital would appear to have two chances to lose and only one to win,s cannot be properly understood except in connection with the will of the late Capt. John B. Hubbell, who, after making certain bequeSts, left the residue of his estate in trust for his widow. the present testatrix. At her death. certain legacies were to be paid to certain persons. and the remainder of the estate was to continue in trust for the benefit of their son, the said Henry A. Hubbell, better known to his friends Harry Hubbell.
 At Harry's death the trust, created by the fathers will, terminated. If he leaves wife and child. or children. they take the estate absolutely.
 And if he leaves children but no wife, then the children receive $5,000 each, and the Bridgeport Hospital is receive remainder.
 And if a wife, but no children, she takes one-third and the hospital 29- sixtieths of the remainder.
 And if he dies without heirs the hos pital will get twenty-nine sixtieths of the entire amount held in trust Thus Mrs. Hubbel1s will reinforces the will of her deceased husband. Un- der her will, if Harry Hubbell leaves a wife and children, the hospital will get $30,OOO at his death, but will not receive anything from the trust estate of the husband.
 But If Harry Hubben dies a bachelor the hospital will take nothing under Mrs. Hubbell's will. but will take 29 sixtieths of the trust created under capt. Hubbell's will, or if Harry Hub bell leaves a widow, but no children, the same proportion of the trust fund, less one third of it; or if Harry Hub bell leaves children but no widow, the same proportion of the trust fund af- ter $5,000 for each child has been de- ducted from it.
 Harry Hubben is now se years of age and unmarried.
 If he marries and leaves a widow and children a number of charities designated as contingent benefciaries bells will. receive nothing, but take, If he leaves a widow only, or children only. or dies bachelor.
 The will of Mrs. Hubben was admit ted to probate Saturday afternoon. The Bridgeport Trust Company qual1- flied as executor. The will was drawn by Attorney Can1l0lO. Jan. A. 1910. Charles F. Garfield, Jesse Lounsbury and Grace F. Minty appear as witnesses.
