To a Cemetery and a Church

Frank Cranson Willed All of His Property

The Will Is Contested

By His Brother and Sister—The Webster Congregational Church and Cemetery the Legatees

The will of Frank Delos Cranson is to be contested by Edgar Cranson and Elsie Cranson, brother and sister to the deceased. Frank Cranson died about five months ago at his home in Dexter, and willed all his property to the Webster cemetery and the Congregational church of the same place.

The will gives all his personal property to the Webster cemetery, where Frank Cranson's father and mother are buried. The income from the principal is to be used for the first 25 years in keeping up and in repairing the cemetery grounds and buildings, and after that period has elapsed, the whole amount is to be turned over to the proper authorities governing the cemetery.

The real estate of Mr. Cranson is bequeathed to Bert Kinney, of Webster as executor, the income from the same to be turned over to the Congregational church of Webster for 25 years, after which it is to be given over in toto to the church authorities.

Mr. Cranson had no children and consequently there is no friction from such a source, but Miss Elsie Cranson and Edgar Cranson are to contest the will on the ground that Frank Cranson was incompetent to make it when he died and that the present beneficiaries under the will have no legal interest in the property.

Attorney M. J. Cavanaugh will appear for the executor and the estate. Prof. B. M. Thompson and W. D. Harriman will appear for the contestants.

The date set for the hearing is Nov. 22 and it promises to be one of the most interesting of contested will cases.
