or a rich Michigan banker, both long
since dead. The banker was David
G. Slater, president of the Vassar,
Mich, bank and president of the
Michigan Land company. His wife
had preceded him to the grave and no
children had been born from the mar.
riage.
Under his will several annuities
were provided for, after which it was
directed the residue should be divid-

One brother, William Slater, met
his death on the battlefield at Gettys-
