A RULING ENTERED
IN PECULIAR WILL
Which Was Drawn Up Joint
ly by John Shafer and
Mrs. Shafer.

An Interpretation by Judge Fox has
been placed on the will of the late
John Shafer and wife who owned con-
siderable property in Jefferson town
ship. The Judge after few weeks of
deliberation finally has worked out a
solution to the peculiarly drawn in
strument. as he termed it in his deci-
sion handed down in the circuit court
on Tuesday.
The executor of the estate, Adam
Henry Shafer, a son of the decedents,
Is advised to proceed to exercise the
specification of the will of the two as
though it was but the will of his faith.
err John Shafer and wife in April 1905
drew up what they wished to be a
joint will, in which the nine children,
including Theodore A., John S., Ozro
B., Sylvester NJ, and Adam II. ShafeI
and Mrs. Sarah F.. Howard, Mrs. Mar.
garet A. Smith, Mrs. Amanda e. Un.
derhill and Mrs. Elmette ]. Kepler
were to share equally after allowance
had been made for adyancements to
each child. 1N
The husband died in September
1908, and the joint will was probated
as his instrument. However, it was
no doubt the intent of the decedent
that his wife, Elizabeth Shafer, was
to receive. the benefit of his estate
during her lifetime. and so an agree
ment to this effect was entered into
between the widow and the nine child
rem. Upon her death in November
1910, the life estate created by the
agreement between the widow and heI
children ended, but the executor
seemed at loss as to how to proceed
and filed a petition in the circuit court
to partition and sell the real estate tc
close the estate of John and Elizabeth
Shafer. Inasmuch as the widow had
no property rights in the estate. as all
the personal and real estate was in
her husbands name. the court held
that the executor should proceed to
carry out the provisions OF the tes
lament as though it were the will oi
John Shafer.
