1/27/36 Mr. [
776]'s letter telling us of his wife
Mrs. [
755]'s death:
"I am also enclosing a check for $10 and a history of a
case and questions. It explains itself. Mrs. [
1116] is
a relative of the family on the wife's side. I have
encouraged her to invest $10 for your advice in the matter
and personally ask that you give it your very best attention
and reading as soon as possible, as it might be necessary for
them to go to court and answer a claim against this estate
within a certain time."
History of Case. [By Mrs. [
1116], via Mr. [
776]]
Mr. [...] was married to my father's sister, thus being my
uncle by marriage. My aunt passed away on Aug. 15, 1932 and
he made a new will in September 1932, dividing the estate
into shares, of which I was to receive six shares - there
being 28 shares in all.
In October 1933 my uncle married a Mrs. [...] from ..., Pa.
He did not make any changes in his will after he was married,
for the reason that when they came up north from Orlando,
Florida, Mrs. [...] would not live in Jersey where he had
his summer home and claimed his residence. He had lived in
Jersey many years before he went to Florida and bought quite
some property. When they were in Florida he stayed in her
home, although he had an orange grove outside the city with
a nice home on it.
On September 5, 1935 Mr. [...] passed away in his home in
Jersey, (Mrs. [...] was in Pennsylvania and had been since
coming up north) and one of the neighbors sent for her.
There were two executors of the estate - The Second National
Bank of Red Bank and Mr. [...], Jr. (a son of the first Mrs.
[...]'s cousin). The will was filed for probate in Freehold,
N.J. Nearly all the property that Mr. [...] purchased was
in Florida, there being only one parcel in Jersey.
Due to the fact that Mr. [...] made no provision in his will
for Mrs. [...], she has filed a petition with the County
Judge of Orange County, Victor Hutchins, Orlando, Fla.
claiming that under Section 11 of the Florida Probate Act
of 1933, she is entitled to all of the property located in
Florida. Mr. [...] has retained Mr. Richard Otto of Newark
N.J. to represent the Estate.
1 - Will you kindly advise what course should be followed
in regard to securing a lawyer, or do you think the lawyer
retained by the executor will be able to handle the case to
the best interests of the heirs.
2 - Will you kindly give me your reading on the outcome of
the case, and when same will be settled.
I am very much interested in the outcome of the case, for
the reason that I am helping in the expense of doctoring my
father's other sister who has been an invalid for the past
two years. She lives with her daughter in Rockville Centre.
As I lived with this Aunt, (who brought me up from
childhood), 22 years and love her very much, I feel that I
should help in the expense. I am also contributing to the
support of my mother, who lives alone in Long Beach. She is
able to do some work herself and is able to get along with
what she makes and what I can send her. I am working at ...
and make a fair monthly salary. In addition to the above
expenses I am paying $25.00 per month on the second mortgage
on our home. My husband's mother lives with us.
This Mrs. [...] is a wealthy woman in her own rights. I
did not meet the woman until the day my uncle was buried.
He always came to visit us and he always came alone -
Mrs. [...] being in Penn. I received two friendly letters
from her inviting me to visit her, which I could not accept.
Therefore, under the circumstances, I thought the will would
be settled in the regular way - that she would be willing to
accept the amount of the estate allowed her by law.
