Respectfully Submitted Thomas H. Meredith May 17, 1909 And said report being seen and understood by the Court and there being no exceptions filed thereto, the same is confirmed and one of the purposes of said suit being for the construction of the will of Mrs. S.E. McLaren as well as for the sale of the land belonging to her said estate and under the will, the Court is of the opinion that said will does not vest the title of the real estate in the Executor and does not amt to or work an equitable conversion of the landed estate into personalty as a fund, it is therefore considered and adjudged by the Court that the heirs of Mrs. S.E. McLaren under the provisions of the Will would take their pro rato parts of the proceeds of the funds to the exclusion of the husbands of the married women leaving heirs the said fund goes to the heirs and not the husband, except to the extent of courtesy rights and it is further adjudged and decreed by the Court that the little personal fund of $115.74 received by the C&M of this Court from the County Court go into the general fund and be likewise distributed, it appearing to the Court from said report who the heirs of the parties are of said estate and thier respective interest being set forth as a base of heir inheritance in said report, it is therefore adjudged that each of them inherit according to their respective interests as set out in the report and their rights are declared and decreed accordingly and that said fund now on hand and any future fund arising in the case be distributed to said parties according to their ratio of interest as expressed in said report, less any costs that have arisen or may hereafter arise in the case and it further appearing to the Court that there is now in the hands of the C&H funds which have heretofore been collecting amounting to $4087.90 but of this amt. the sum of $464.83 has been consumed in costs, commissions and attorneys fees in the proportion as set out in said report, and it further appearing to the Court that W.R.J.

Hale received $200.00 August 4th 1908 from W.R.J.
