THREE WILLS
Probated by the County Clerk To-day—
They are Those of Preston Parker, Benjamin G. Tyler and John H. Wallace.
Three wills were probated by the County Clerk to-day.
They were those of Preston Parker, Benjamin G. Tyler and John H. Wallace. Mr. Parker was a citizen of Bourbon county at the time of making his will, February 27, 1884. He bequeaths all of his property to his wife, to be hers as long as she remains his widow, but when she again married the property is to go to his children.
Circuit Clerk Joseph M. Jones and ex-County Clerk J.M. Hughes, of Paris, are witnesses to this brief will.
Mr. Tyler leaves, after his debts are paid, one-third of his estate to his grandson, Tyler Hampton. Should the latter die before reaching his twenty-second year the property shall revert to his daughter, Jennie Atkins. Of course the other two-thirds of Mr. Tyler’s property goes to his wife and children.
The next and last will is that of John H. Wallace, who requests that after the payment of his just debts, his property all be sold and the proceeds be divided equally between his children and grandchildren. His son, William K. Wallace, is appointed executor of the estate. The will is dated March 12, 1886, and there are two codicils of the same date attached.
A number of Lexington people will go to Versailles on Wednesday to attend the marriage of Miss Maggie C. Wooldridge to Mr. John G. Edwards. Both youth people are well known here where they frequently visit.
