The will of Gertrude Thomas, who died in the town of Victor on or about April 4, 1910, was submitted to probate without opposition. The petitioner who asked for the probate of the will was Louis A. Rugg of Victor, who is a legatee under the terms of the will. The instrument is dated April 14, 1902, and disposes of all of the property of the decedent which consists of about $2300 of personal property but no real estate. The will appointed as executor Theodore M. Norton, who resided at the village of Victor, but who has since the execution of the will died, and it will be necessary to have an administrator with the will annexed appointed by the court to take charge of the estate. Henry W. Hamlin of this village was appointed a special guardian to represent the interests of any infants that may be connected with the estate. The papers filed show that a grandson of the decedent, Fremont Thomas, is practically the only living heir to her property and that he has not been heard from in over ten years, when he paid a visit to his grandmother, the decedent, at her home in the village of Victor. It is unknown whether the grandson is still alive.

In the estate of Edward Renehan, formerly a resident of the town of the town of Phelps, who died in that township March 9th, letters of administration were granted to his widow, Anna Renehan.

Y., all under the age of 21 years; and John, a resident of Depew, N. Y., who is of age. The property after the payment of the debts of the decedent will be divided among the widow and the nine children.

Yesterday in surrogate's court judicial settlement was had in the estate of Josephus Goodnow, late of Farmington, who died four years ago. A decree was entered, distributing about $250,000 among seven heirs. Disposition of this case has been held up because of the fruitless effort to get trace of a son, who has never been located. There is an unconfirmed rumor that he was killed while tramping in Texas. Delay was also caused because of protest at the probate of a will, which was said to have been one of several left by the deceased. Charles Newton and Lucius t. Goodnow were finally appointed administrators to settle the estate.
