    In 1958 when he was 59 he wrote the Will. He died at age of 74.

    Page 3:
    He lived in Harney County when he wrote the will in 1958.
    He is single and has no children whatsoever. His parents are deceased and his next of kin are a sister by the full blood and several half brothers and half sisters.
    He bequesthed his estate and property to his beloved sister Ethel.

    Inventory amounts to $13,090.29. Reference number: WLOR001

    I find it interesting that his two half sisters are mentioned as heirs but his full blooded sister Ethel inherited all of the Estate. We copied only the pages that we thought we needed. Perhaps there is something missing here.

  6. On her delayed BC she listed she was living in Westfall for 28 years.
  7. William M., Sarah A., Ethel [?]., Walter R. Westfall & Hughey W. Ritchie
  8. She was only 3 at the time. Interesting that she has a delayed birth cert. that lists 1895 as the year.
