KILLED in ACTION
Telegram From War Department
Reaches Friends With Whom
He Made His Home.

A telegram received from the war
department on Tuesday of this week
by Mrs. Eldora Fredericks Of S.
Huntington street, conveyed the sad
tidings of the death in action in
France, on Nov. II, of Neil Conkling,
former we'll known Medina boy.
Neil left Medina for Camp Sherman
April 1, 1918. Some time in June of
the same year he, with other members
of his company, sailed for France.
Several letters were received from
him while at Camp Sherman, but since
going abroad he has not been heard
from, altho inquiry had been made at
various times thru the Red Cross and
war department. The last message
from him was received by daughter
of Mrs. Fredericks, the letter having
date of May 20, 1918.
Deceased had no near relatives, a
sister having died five years ago, and
his mother who was an invalid, follow
ed her two years later. Since this
time Neil had made his home with
Mrs. F'redericks. He has an aunt in
Garrettsville, also cousins in Copley
and Granger.
Previous to his departure for Carry
Sherman Conkling was employed al
the Medina Bending Works.
Soldiers insurance in the sum o1
$4,000 had been taken out by deceased
made payable to himself.

Two Meetings Scheduled. Film At
Pincess Sunday. No Sales

The Victory Liberty Loan in Medina
county started off with a bang at
meeting held in the X. of P. hall last
Friday evening, which was attended
largely by the various township COM
mittees, returned soldiers, members
of the Women's Liberty Loan organi-
zation and citizens in general.
Numerous short talks were given
by returned soldier boys, in which
conditions in France were brought
home to the large audience.
Mr.. G. F. Coykendale, of Cleveland,
also gave an interesting talk, along
the line of attack to be pursued by
the various committees in this drive.
In his talk the speaker anticipated
questions that would be hurled at
bond statesmen and explained methods
of answering same.
The big hit of the evening, however,
was talk by Lieut.. Carver, an Ohio
boy, who has four airplanes and hun
sausage to his credit The lieutenant
was sent here from Cleveland and he
made good with a vengeance. No at
tempt was made by the speaker to ex-

COMMUNITY WELCOME COM.

The first meeting of the Commun-

we'll attended. A. d. Aylard was

CONSTRUCTION OF WILL
( Case GETS DECIDED
Judge Mcclure Names Heirs And
Amount to Be Divided.

On Friday of last week Judge Nc
Clure rendered a decision in the case
of Roswell Hopkins and Zina Wallis,
executors, VS.. Otis F. Briggs ct al.
Hearing was held in March.
This case involved the construction
of the last will and testament of Me-
lissa Britain, late of Sharon Center,
who died on Feb. /, 1895, leaving a
daughter, Edna Bowes Steudler as heir
who received the sum of $9,148.26,
the value of the deceased's estate.
Mrs. Steudler died March 3, 1918
leaving an estate of $4,000, which
she divided as follows: $4,000 to her
nurse and companion, Mrs. Polly Mas
ters, and $4,000 to DR.. Paul Proudley,
the balance going to her nephew, Ros-
well Hopkins.
Mrs. Brittain's will read as follows
ut is my will that whatever property
/ may own at my decease, be given tc
my daughter, Mrs. Edna Bowes, and
| wish it to be kept separate and apart
from other property she may have
and if she should die without issue
from her own body, then l wish the
property divided equally between my
brothers, Henry F. Briggs, Otis
Briggs and Samuel E. Briggs and my
sister Sophia F. Chatfield and child.
rem of my deceased sister Abigail Kin
ney, her children to receive an equal
share of their mothers share, also my
nephew Roswell Hopkins is to receive
the same his mother would have re-
ceived had she been living. If the
above named die then their children
are to have equal shares of what their
parents would have received.
"If my daughter, Edna Bowes should
die and leave no issue from her own
body and it or they as the case may
be should die without issue, then !
wish the property to be divided in the
same manner as described above, Gin
the case of Edna Bowes dying with
out issue)".
Mrs. Bowes had a child born to her
Oct. 16, 1898, but which died May 80
1900. Later she was divorced and mar
ried Ulrich Steudler.
The question at point was whether
Mrs. Steudler came into possession OF
her mothers property absolutely when
the child was born or whether at its
death conditions reverted back as for
mefly. Another phase of the ques-
tion was what part of Mrs. Steudler's
estate is represented by that of hel
mother.
The court after reviewing the evi-
dence, held that Mrs. Steudler took
what is known as fee simple title
to all of the estate, subject to hel
death without issue surviving her, anc
that events contemplated in the will
of Melissa Britain had occurred
which put into force and effect the
distribution of the brothers and sis
ters' portions. The sum of $9148.2e
which Mrs. Steudler received from hel
mothers estate was held to be the
amount devisable.
Therefore 81 heirs-brothers and
sisters or their heirs-of Mrs. Brit
tain will receive their proportionate
part of the $9148.26.

ACE WILL SPEAK
IN Medina SUNDAY
County Churches Will Also Hold
Patriotic Services Sunday

An effort is being made by the To-
cal Liberty Loan committee to have
Lieut.. John B. Carver, an Ohio ace,
who spoke at the Liberty Loan meet
ing here last Friday night, in Medina
for union meeting next Sunday
night, April 9th. Besides being a
speaker at the meeting here Friday
Lieut. Carver gave an excellent talk
at loan meeting in Wadsworth Tues
day evening, and was enthusiastically
received. His talks compare favor
ably with those given by any speaker
here during the four liberty loans.
Definite announcement cannot be
made, however as Lieut.. Carver has
been assigned to the Liberty Loan
Flying Circus, but stated to the COM
mittee Tuesday that he would make
an effort to obtain his release long
enough to be present here Sunday.
Further announcement will be made
later in the week.
All churches in the county are re-
quested to embody the Liberty Loan
subject in their services Sunday, and
an effort will be made to have all re-
turned soldiers at their respective
places Of worship.

COMMISSIONERS GIVE. $4,000
TO HELP PAVE N. COURT

Several members of council ap-
peared before the county commission
ers Monday afternoon in an effort to
obtain county aid in paving North
Court street, from Union street north
to the corporation line.
The old board of county commits
sioners had tentatively agreed to help
the village pave this portion to the
extent of $4,000.
Council pointed out that new esti-
mates received since this offer was
made had increased the cost of the
work nearly so per cent, and stated
that owing to the unimproved condi-
tion of the land abutting this road, the
amount assessable against property
owners would necessarily have to be
very small, the law stating that total
assessments levied against property
cannot exceed third of the valua-
tlon, which fact would throw heavy
percentage of the cost on the village.
They asked that the commissioners
pay 70 per cent of the villages portion
which would be about $1,000, as the
total cost will be about $4,000,
$4,000 of which is assessed against the
railroad
Commissioners bucked a little from
the fact that they had pledged them
selves to help the village on the Wash
ington street paving, but finally came
across with $4,000.
Nothing further than was stated
last week has developed regarding the
paving of N. Court, but should the
plan as outlined then, work out, it is
possible that the work may be started
| this summer.
