He had outlived many of his relatives, including the person named in his will as executor of his estate. Thus, the probate court selected the decedent’s nephew Timothy J. Lee, as administrator.

The will also included a $20,000 general legacy to a local church with a residual legacy to a well-known charity. Unfortunately, after all other legacies were distributed, the estate would have only about $14,000 cash.One item in the will concerned the administrator.
