"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Saturday, May 21, 1892 INDEPENDENCE TOLD HIM TO "KEEP IT" The will of James B. STOVER, deceased, was filed yesterday for probate after a lapse of fifteen years. When the will was made it was placed in the keeping of J. J. ROBINSON, of Raytown, and he was told to keep it. Shortly afterwards STOVER died and no will was brought in. The general supposition was that the deceased died leaving no will. The widow a few days ago wished to sell the land and it then leaked out that STOVER had left a will, and when last seen Parson ROBINSON had it. An order was issued that Parson ROBINSON show up the will forthwith. Parson's explanation was that STOVER told him to keep it and he did so, never dreaming that it should have been filed for probate fifteen years ago. ====================================================== (I have no connection with these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
