    1. [NJBurlin] Will of Gertrude (Applegate) HAINES
    2. Hello, for those interested in Gertrude Bodine (Applegate) HAINES and family: Will was written in 1904, Gertrude died in 1912. I have kept Gertrude's spelling etc. in parts. Son Henry A. HAINES has his share when his father built the house for him on Penn Street, this is more than their will be for the rest. My Elizabeth SMITH to have her share when the property is equally divided (is this a daughter?). Son Dilwin HAINES to have $16 taken out of his share--"money due us when we settled our account with them houses we built together on Penn Street." Son William HAINES to have his share when the estate is equally divided. Son Robert HAINES' children to have their father's share equally divided. Son Edward HAINES--2 shares instead of 1. Daughter Minnie TORRENS to have 2 shares instead of 1. Personal estate items to son Edward HAINES (included Goose Feather Bed, bolster and pillows, bedclothes, big sofa in parlor, parlor stove) He can sell items he does not want. Daughter Minnie G. TORRENS--if there is anything in the house she wants, bed clothes or any articles of furniture for her to take them Son-in-Law Edward M. TORRENS to get the big Porch Rocker. Grandson Raymond HAINES to get book History of the US. Granddaughter Gertrude Frances TORRENS seven silver tea spoons. I am quoting the end of Gertrude's will in full--it is touching: "The ones I want to settle up my business when I am gone are my son William HAINES, Edward HAINES, and Minnie G. TORRENS." "If there should be any change and I not be living as I am now I want you all to try and agree and not have any troble." And should I be sick or a troble to anyone who has to take care of me, I want them to be paid a reasonable price if there is anything to pay with." Hope this helps. Kathy Karn
