The will of John B. Waterman, of Salem, who died Nov. 4, has been presented for probate. The estate is stated, in the petition, to be valued at $10,000 or thereabouts, and is bequeathed as follows by the original document: To his son, Dewey B., an 80-acre farm, being the east half of the southwest quarter of section two, during his life and at his death to go to the nearest of kin of the testator; second, the residue to be divided into four equal parts and given one each to his children Frank A., Helen Ann, George A. and Dewey B. By a codicil he modifies the terms of the original document so that the farm given to Dewey B. shall go to his children if he shall leave any, otherwise to the next of kin of testator, and that the residue shall be divided into five parts, two of which shall go to Frank A., two to Helen Ann and one to George A. Dewey B. Waterman is named as executor.
