Person:Elizabeth Ash (3)

(Henry Ash Will) Elizabeth and her husband were both dead at the time of her father's death. The estate papers include a letter from an attorney in Canton, Ohio, stating: "Dear Sir. Yours comes to hand in due time and I wish I wish to inform you that both Ludwig Young and his wife Elizabeth are dead but they left as their heirs the following named children vis Henry Young, David Young, Susan Young, Mary A. Capon , Sarah Smith, Daniel Young, deceased and Jesse Young, deceased--as you will discover the latter two are dead, we have obtained a Quit Claim from Henry Young and David Young releasing all their right and interest to the money due them from the Administrator as well as the interest that they have in the amount due to them from their deceased brothers' shares--and give the same to Mary A. Capon and Sarah Smith, their sisters. Thus they become entitled to all save one share of the whole amount due to Elizabeth Young (their mother) from the Estate of Henry Ash deceased as you will discover we are acting as their attorneys. You will therefore please include the amount due Mrs. Capon and Smith when you forward to us the amount deeded to them due to Daniel and Jesse Young, deceased. If you wish a receipt from us for the amount that you may forward to us, we will transmit it to you. We wish you to see to this matter for us if you will--and will compensate you for all trouble that you may be to have the money promptly forwarded to us. Please give this matter your earliest attention and you will confer a great favor on Mrs. Capon and Smith as they are very poor and need it very much indeed--it is because of their poverty that their brothers released all their interest to them. P.S. You will only retain Susan Young's share of the amount due. Alexander J. Thompson
