A county court Jury this morning
upheld the will of Katherine G.
Crotty, Niagara Falls, who died
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,
the latter a Niagara Falls attorney.
The will left $100 to a son, Timothy
J. Crotty, Niagara Falls and $1 each
to three daughters and a son, Anna
Ellman and Peter J. Crotty, Niagara
Palls, Elizabeth Amann of
Youngstown, Ohio, and Mary
Benzel, Buffalo. The residue was
