August 9 in Buffalo, leaving the bulk
of an estate of $4,300 real and
$222.84 personal property, to a
daughter, Helen V. Curry, Buffalo.
Although other children had
sought to break the will on the
grounds that Mrs. Curry exerted undue
influence on her mother, no
one appeared in court this morning
to contest it. The action went
by default and the jurors were Instructed
by County Judge Gold as
to what their verdict should be.
Immediately after the trial the
court admitted the will to probate
and Issued letters testamentary to
Mrs. Curry and Gervase Rhoney,
