Tarbell & a., Trustees, v. Leary & a.
Petition, for advice as to the execution of the will of Luther A. Tarbell. Transferred from the January term, 1909, of the superior court by Wallace, C. J.
The testator executed his will September 7, 1892, and died September 24, 1893. The first clause of the will bequeathed the sum of $3,000 to trustees, who were directed, “ at the end of five years after my decease and every five years thereafter during the term of this trust,” to pay over the accumulations, and at the end of fifteen years after the testator’s decease to pay over the principal sum and accumulations, “ in equal shares unto my grandchildren then living.” The third clause directed that at the end of twenty years after the testator’s decease the testators should pay the residue of the estate “ unto my children and my grandchildren then living in equal shares.”
At the date of the will the testator had nine grandchildren. Between the date of the will and the testator’s death another grandchild was born. At the expiration of five years from the testator’s death there were eleven grandchildren alive, and one had been born and died in that period. During the second period of five years three more grandchildren were born. The trustees desire to be instructed as to what grandchildren are entitled to share in the trust funds.

The other trust fund is to be divided equally among Mr. Tarbell's children and grandchildren who may be living September 24, 1913.
