REMARKABLE WILL
DIVIDES UP HOUSE
Father Gives Kitchen to Son and
Woodshed to Daughter-Other
Rooms Are Distributed.

One of the most remarkable wills
ever filed in Massachusetts, recently
came to light in Rehoboth, when it
became known that George H. Hor1
ton, whose estate is valued at $685.
600, had divided a Broom dwelling
between son and daughter and their
families. The son gets the kitchen,
the daughter the woodshed, and the
rest of the homestead in distributed
between them in a unique manner.
The testator leaves realty valued at
$4,000 and personal property esti-
mated at $4,000. The personally is
divided evenly between the son,
Frank H. Horton, and the daughter,
Mrs. Amfelia A. Carpenter.
Son Rules First Floor.
The six rooms on the first floor of
the three-story house are left to
Frank, who is married and has one
son. To him also is given one room
on the second floor and one room
on the top floor. This gives the son
eight rooms in the big dwelling.
To the daughter, Mrs. Carpenter,
who lives alone with her son, is left
the use of three of the four rooms
on the second floor and two of the
three rooms on the top floor By
the terms of the Will the daughter
also inherits the well, the woodshed
and the garden.
Though the kitchen of the home
stead is given to Frank Horton, Mrs.
Carpenter may use the kitchen range
for the purpose of cooking for her
son, who works in the village store.
