He Never Got His Cow After waiting, as he claims for twenty-two years for a horse, a cow and a bed willed him by his mother, Jacob King, of Summerhill, says the Johnstown TRIBUNE, has filed exceptions to the account of his brother, Daniel King, of Adams township, executor of his parents’ will, demanded that he be given the legacies mentioned or the value in money which he places at $175. Mrs. Mary King died in Adams township twenty-two years ago, possessed a fine farm which she devised to her seven children at her death, the death of her husband, William King who was to have a life interest in the place. To the children she gave outright her personal property, Jacob’s share being a cow, a horse and a bed. Two years ago, William King died and the farm was sold to Jonathan Helsel for $10,500, distribution of the money being made (to) all but Daniel, of the heirs having previously sold their interest in the place. The personal property was all disposed of years ago but when the estate was closed up by the executor and the account filed in court, Jacob took exception on the grounds that he had never received his legacy from the personal property and he demanded it. Attorney Dan L. Parsons was appointed Commissioner to hear testimony and took some depositions on Monday at his office, the hearing adjourning until October 24th when it will be finished up and the evidence presented at argument court on the 27th for a decision whether or not Jacob had ever received his legacy and if not, what became of it and why he did not get it before this. Attorney W. David Lloyd represents the executor and Jacob Zimmerman the ex-departed. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows connects the people, information, and fun that are part of your life. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093175mrt/direct/01/
