MySource:LeeHollenbeck/Hollenbeck, Albert Probate Records, Grundy County, Illinois 1913-14

There were about 3 inches of papers when I visited 2 Mar 2012. There was some disagreement on the settlement between the widow and the administrator. I did not go through all of the papers. Nowhere did I see anything to identify which Reuben Hollenbeck was the administrator. I am guessing it was the brother of Albert. Somewhere was mention of a mausoleum in Evergreen cemetery where Albert had purchased two vaults, one in which he was currently interred and the other of which was meant for the widow. Sometimes the widow was referred to as Helen and other times as Nellie. There was only one widow, the former Mrs. Grant. All below was found in the probate papers packet, Case No. 3303, Grundy County Circuit Court, except for the quote from Proof of Heirship Book I. I did not go through the other books for Albert Hollenbeck's probate, except when using index book to find this case file. - Lee Hollenbeck
