Probate of Mary E. Jones Will

Index to Probate/ Wills

Jones, Mary E. BR March 21 1940

Note: Following the death of Mrs. Mary E. Jones of Swanington on January 9, James W. Jones, a son, was appointed administrator of the estate when no will was found, although it was believed a will existed. About a week ago, while looking through a box of papers belonging to the late attorney Edmund G. Hall, Charles M. Snyder found a will executed in 1923. The letters of administration that were issued to Mr. Jones were revoked by Judge Barce and the will was admitted to probate. By its new terms, James W. Jones will serve as executor. The heirs to the estate, valued at approximately $4,000, are her two sons, James W. Jones and J. Elmer Jones and four grandchildren. The property will be converted into cash and the two sons will each receive 1/4 of the net proceeds. The 4 grandchildren who will each receive one-eighth of the estate are: Thomas and Weldon Embleton, Tirzah and Richard S. Jones.
