SOMETHING ABoIjTTHE~:=z - :
WORK IN A PROBATE OFFICE
A Few Facts Gathered From the Rec
ords of This County Office.

A Few Facts Gathered From the Rec
ords Of This County Office. -.
Thinking that perhaps the public
would be interested to learn a little
of the work which has gone on in the
Probate Office, the past year, the Trib-
une has gathered few facts that may
be of interest. It is true the books of
this office are open to public inspec-
ton, but as rule very little is known
of the work accomplished in this i'm
portant Office.
The following is a. summary of a
part of the work done during the year
1915:
Number Of hearings held. ..215
New estates filed .................69
Estates settled ..................1 22
Wills admitted to probate. ........2 "a
Inheritance tax collected. .$201.56
Guardianship proceedings ~
Persons adjudged insane. .16
Inebriate hospital proceedings. 81
Juvenile court proceedings. ........ 2
Marriage ceremonies performed. .1S
Allowance of claims against
estates %. ............ $23, 465.O7
It will be seen from the above table
that sixteen persons were adjudged
insane. OF this number ten we're resi-
dents of this county and six were not.
In inebriate proceedings, four were
residents of the county and four were
not.
