.SAYRE EXECUTORS
WILL WITHDRAW
Son of Late Lumber Dealer
Opposes Petition Filed in
Orphans Court.

To have themselves removed from
the charge of the estate of Marcus
Sayre, the four executors and trus-
tees appointed by him in his will,
presented a petition to Judge Osborne
in Orphans Court today.
Although all four executors agree
that 1t would be to the best interests
of the estate for them to resign,
Henry M. Sayre, a son of the de-
ceased, opposed their petition and
asked that the court compel them to
continue their executorships.
Marcus Sayre at the time of his
death, March %, 1909, was interested
in many projects. but principally in
the lumber business, which he con-

In his will he appointed his widow.
Henrietta NJ. Sayre, his daughter,

executors and trustees of the estate.
His widow was the principal benefl-
ciary. his daughter and sons. how
ever, coming into the bulk of the es
tatc upon her death. The estate was
worth about $350,0
In the petition to have themselves
discharged from their duties, the eX-
ecutors give as their principal reason
that they are unable to work in har-
mony. Mrs. Sayre also declares that
she is advancing in age and unable
to properly attend to the work. The
daughter asserted that duties swere
burdensome and too much for her,
Mr.. Pilch said that the bulk of the
work had devolved on him because of
the two women's Discrimination to
continue. He also felt that they did
not follow his advice in certain trans
actions, to the detriment of the es-
tate Mr.. Teeter gave as his reason
for wishing to get out the fact that
Mr.. Pitch wanted to give up and the
that has arisen among
the executors.
J. Henry Harrison, counsel for
Henry NJ. Sayre, WHO gets a fourth
interest in the residuary estate upon
the death of Mrs. Sayre, vigorously
opposed the granting OF the petition.
He said that the executors up to this
time had carried on the business of
the estate satisfactorily and the es-
tate would suffer if they were re-
moved and a stranger appointed. lie
said that the difficult part of the work
had been performed, leaving but little
to do in the future.
He argued that the executors should
follow the wishes of Mr.. Sayre, who
appointed them, and continue to the
end as the guardians of the estate
Several other lawyers appeared in the
case, representing the executors, and
they all presented reasons why the
executors should resign.
