NOTHING TO IT.. !.
AUNT TO YOUNG HEIRS DOES NOT
BELIEVE STORY.
She Says Their Father Has Been
Dead for 10 Years-Boys
Have Been Living With
Grandmother for 10
Years.

In the Reflector Saturday was
printed a dispatch from Guthrie
Okla, telling of the death of F. A
Edwards, farmer, who willed hii
farm to his two sons Wayne and
Raymond and who in his last will
and testament said that the boys
lived at Abilene, Kansas, with their
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Loell
Steele. Mr.. Steele Is dead; but the
young men have been living with
their grandmother for 10 years. This
dispatch has caused much excite
ment among the boys relatives in
Dickinson county, for Mr.. Edwards
was thought, to have been dead
IL years.
Mrs. Helen Steel Chase, an aunt
4of the boys, who lives at 515 North
East Seventh street when informed
of this story said: IT do not believe
there is thing to It, The boys
father was thought to have died IL
years ago. At that time he willed
over his 100 acre farm in Oklahoma
to the boys and they have been re-
ceiving rent money from 1t. Ever
since the boys mother died 10 years
ago they have been living with their
grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Steele,
who lives with us. The boys SO far
as they know have relatives only on
the Steele side OF the family. Their
mother was a Steele. Their father
was an orphan and we cannot find
out who bis relatives were. Ray
mond is p years old and Wayne is
%. They are attending the state
university. What makes me feel
positive that their father has been
dead ~ years Is that their uncle,
Eugene Steele who was Immediately /
appointed their guardian, went to
Oklahoma and settled all back ae-
counts While there neighbors Of
toe boys father told Of his death.
At the Christmas vacation Raymond
went to Oklahoma and built a new
house on the farm. We have not
received any notice from Guthrie"

Thus wrote F. A. Edwards in hi
last will and testament, willy lyinl
beside dying fire, with its emberi
the only light he had to guide the
Ipencil. The will was written on the
leaves Of small day book of vest
pocket size, and in copying the in
strument for the attorneys 1t was
necessary for Mrs. ]. C. Strang, wife
of the probate Judge at Guthrie,
Okla, to study over many of the
words a long time before she could
make certified copy,
Edwards lived on a farm, north
east OF Guthrie, and was perhaps an
seer. The older residents of that
county remembered him. The will
came up for probate in Judge
Strang's court during the past few
weeks, and the final notices are now
being pdbliahed 1rior to winding
up the estate.
The following is verbatim copy
of the F. A. Edwards will as made
by Mrs. Strang:
81 hereby appoint Mr.. Jesse Henry
to look after my two boys II l die,

give the older one the west 80, II he

folks have not treated me right since
her death, because l could not send
money. You know some of the hard
ships Of my stay here. Remember

shirt, no sleeves and do my boys

The investigation was intended 10
prevent the sale or transportation. IN
