Wills Prohated.

There is always curiosity to know
how deceased person has disposed of
his property, and when the will is filed
in the Surrogate's Office it becomes a
public record. Curiosity is generally
the motive for inquiry, and the stand
ing OF the testator adds to the interest.
One of those cases is that of Miss Eliza
McHenry, whose property has been the
subject of much discussion the last
month. The Farmers Trust Company
is the executor of Miss McHenry's will
and the testament is dated July s, 1914.
The next of kin are cousins, but thew
are not bequeathed' anything, the en-
tire estate going to charitable objects.
The Historical Society, of Philadel-
phia, will get the Napoleon" furni-
ture, which consists of bedstead, bu-
reau, sideboard, chair, decanter, wine
glasses and cigar case. The sum of
$1,000 is left to st. Andrews church,
the interest to be used to keep the Nc
Henry lot in the graveyard in good
condition. The further sum of $1,000
is given to the church without any re-
straint or conditions upon it. The
farm on Garden street, Mount Holly,
is to be held by the executor, who is to
divide the net income from it between
the Children's Home and the Female
Benevolent Society for twenty yeaIs,
at the expiration of which time the
property is to sold and the proceeds are
to be divided between the two societies,
who are named as residuary legatees.
The exact amount of the estate has
not been made public but it is doubt
full if there will be enough to pay the
legacies.
Another will that interested many
was that OF Charles Fl. Engle, of Gar
den street. The Farmers Trust Com
pany is the executor of this estate
Several articles of family value were
disposed of. One was bible owned by
the neutrality-suspicious. of the de-
ceased, and this book went to a cousin
in Philadelphia. Charles H. Engle, Jr.,
OF Lumberton, gets a diamond stud,
! gold watch and chain, an old Bible,
a walnut desk and clock that was the
property OF the deceased mans father,
and six silver teaspoons of family val
ue. The care of the Engle burial plot
at Medford is cared for by q legacy of
$500, the interest to be used for the pur-
pose mentioned. The widow is given
the use of the house ON Garden street,
with the household goods and at her
death they become the property of
| Charles H. Engle, Jr. If the benef
Charles in this instance want to rent or
sell the property, the proceeds will be
divided equally between them. The
net income from $4,000 goes to the
widow during her lifetime and at her
death it is divided as follows: Sarah
and Alice Dudley, Anna Lippincott
Engle and Frances Agnes Engle are
given $499 each. If either of those
named should die before the widow,
the survivor gets the share Of the other
the provision being for two separate
lots-and if they should die before the
widow, the requests go to the Child
ren's Home. The balance of the
$4,000 is to go to Charles H. Engle,
Jr., or to his blood descendants if he is
not living, and if he does not have any
such descendants, $1,000 is to be given
to Elizabeth Gauntt, the balance to go
to the Burlington County Hospital.
The rest of the estate goes to Charles
H. Engle. 'Jr.
Alfred w. LOfiand, OF Marlton, left
$500 for the purchase of burial plot
and the erection of a monument. The
widow and her son, Edwin ID. Rogers,
who are the executors, are to have the
use of the farm in Evesham township
until the son of Edwin Rogers becomes
Of age, and then he is to get it. Edwin
d. Rogers gets all the horses and train
ing equipment. The rest of the estate
is set aside for the benefit of the widow
during her lifetime, and at her death
it is to be divided between the children
of Mr.. Rogers.
