SUIT To SET ASIDE
WILL OF JOHN CURRY,
EATON, COMPROMISED

EATON, On1o, NOV. 21.-After Judge |
w. W. Teegarden, Of Greenvil1e. and
a jury had appeared here Monday in |
common pleas court to hear trial of |
a suit to set aside the will Of the late |
John v. Curry, farmer, Jefferson town
ship attorneys in the case announced
that compromise had been effected.
The jury approved the compromise In
verdict declaring the win to be the
valid last will of the decedent and max
ing the validity of the instrument a
matter of court record. Suit to set
aside the will was brought on the
ground that 1t was not the decedent's
last will.
The suit was brought by Irma Rick
er and Lois Curry, daughters of the
testator, against Viola Curry, widow
and executrix Of the will, and Ruth and
Dorothy Curry, daughters.
The will gave Dorothy and Ruth Cur
ry $4,000 each and Irma Kicker and
Lois Curry $1,000 each, after which
the widow, Viola Curry, was to receive
the remainder of the estate, including
the farm OF 135 acres, during her life
time and then to go to the daughters
in equal shares. That they had been
remembered by the testator's uncle,
William L. Curry, in his will was
given by Curry for giving two of the
daughters only $1,000 each. Curry
died in December, 1920, and was quite
wealthy.

others, to set aside the will of the late
Mary c. Fowble, will not begin Nov
