Hello, While posting information on the "British Home Children" List this morning, I was reminded that I never tried to find out if my great-grandparents had left "a will." J.S. LEWIS was the owner/editor of 2, independent newspapers in Stoneham, and he owned a printing shop there. This would have been ~1884 to ~1923. If the businesses were successful, he might have earned some money. (Although his 13 children might have found a use for his money.) :o) I have found about 10 descendants of "Grandpa LEWIS" and none of them knew anything about my (their) great-grandparents. Mr. LEWIS was living in Stoneham in 1923, but he decided to "live his last days" in NH; he died there and is buried there. Mrs. LEWIS, as a widow, had moved to Lynn and she died in 1924. IF I drove to Cambridge this month, and went to "Family & Probate Court" would it be fairly easy to obtain their "wills?" I did go there 3-4 years ago, and was able to look at a will from the 1930's. I seem to remember I was in the building for a long time. I was just curious if anything had changed in that department. Or, when I walk in, will everything be the same? Actually I could ask whether things are about the same in every Family & Probate Court in every County in MA. Betty (near Lowell, MA) (I could mention that the "will" I was able to look at, and make a copy of, 3-4 years ago was for Miss Mary HUTCHINSON of Winchester. She, and her brother, were unmarried adults. I didn't think there would be too much money being mentioned. I did find names and information that I needed. Actually, if I go to Cambridge, I should try to find the will of her brother, Thomas, who had died several years before her. That might mention "family money.") (However, I was told that the HUTCHINSON's in Winchester in the late 1800's had become "land rich and money poor.")
