The will of Nicholas Yeager was probated Saturday in the County Clerk’s office, Newport. He bequeathed all of his estate to his wife, Louisa Yeager, during her lifetime, and after that he directed that the following bequests be made: To his stepson, John Fortman, $300; to his two children, Barbara Federle & ALois Yeager, each one-thirteenth of the estate. The remainder is to be equally divided among the other children, Louisa Runtz, Peter Yeager, Bernard and Amelia Yeager, Anna Rickwitz and Adam Yeager.

The widow is named executrix without bond.

The will was drawn in August 1891, and the homestead, lots and notes aggregate about $10,000.

This is the case, as exclusively stated in Friday’s Post, in which the will was found by Joe Brown among the papers of the late Judge M. J. Brown. The heirs and attorneys had been of the opinion that no will was left. A suit for settlement had been filed, and some of the lots sold last Wednesday. The suit was suddenly ended when the Court was notified Saturday of the will being found.
