Four Wills Probated In Chowan This Week h The wills of four recently deceased residents of Edenton and Chowan 1 County were probated this week by Probate Judge Richard D.- Dixon. Probably the two that have attracted the most attention were the signed testaments of the late H. G. Wood and Mrs. Frances A. Warren, who bequeathed practically all of her property to Dr. Jess A. Powell. While Mr. Wood’s estate indicated much ac quired wealth no inventory was filed with it and no estimate of its value has been placed by the executor and executrix. By the terms of Mr. Wood’s will, which was signed December 10, 1934, the Wood residence and furnishings on West King Street are left out right to the widow, Mrs. Mary Phil lips Wood. Fred P. Wood, only son, was bequeathed a one-half interest in the insurance brokerage firm of Wood and Warren, and the balance of the estate, except for a number of minor bequests, is to be divided equally between the widow and the son. 0/ the enumerated bequests SSOO is left to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, a similar amount to the Alumni Loyalty Fund of the University of North Carolina, SIOO to the Cupola House Library and Museum to take up a note bearing Mr. Wood’s en dorsement, and 8 bequests of SIOO each to Julien Wood, brother, James B. Hall, nephew, of Scotland Neck, Carrie W. Coke, niece, Bessie M. Stewart, niece, Elizabeth City, Hal Wood Coke, namesake, of Texas, Betsy Wood, granddaughter, and Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Summerell, “my friends.” . Mrs. Warren’s will, signed several years ago, states in an introductory clause that Dr. Powell shall have “my set of pearls for his great kind ness to my sister and myself.” A succeeding clause gives Mary G. Wells the deceased’s personal cloth ing. To the Baptist Church SIOO is left in trust for the upkeep of the Warren family graves. To a great nephew, William C. Walke, Jr., is given “his great great grandfather’s ebony and gilt clock with glass dome.” All the rest of the estate is bequeathed to Dr. Powell, w T ho is named sole executor. An inventory filed states there is $125 in currency, a gold watch chain, a gold locket, the set of pearls, two diamond rings, two certificates of deposit for $1,600 each in the Bank of Edenton, two shares of Cupola House stock and 10 shares of Flakerton Graphite Co., of Montgomery, Ala. A third will was that of S. S. Sut ton written January 3, 1982. By it , the testator stipulated his funeral expenses could cost SI,OOO. The home farm on the Chowan River | road is left to a son, L. R. Sutton, ! with the statement “it is my desire my son not take his mother to live .with him on these premises.” To a (daughter, Emma V. S. Brown is giv jen deceased’s interest in lot No. 202 in North Edenton. The remainder of the estate is left to the three sons, Willie, Allie and L.

Prospects Fade For PWA Funds (Continued from Page One) from a loan and grant to that of grant only, you should at once fur nish this office with a letter (in six copies) requesting the change, the letter to be followed by a suitable resolution passed at the next meeting of your Board. This procedure may (place your application in line for favorable consideration, although we must advise that in any event there is no assurance that funds either in loans or grants will be made avail able for your project.” On the strength of Mr. Baity’s letter the Board of Education held a meeting and passed the following re solution, a copy of which was also sent to Representative Warren: “Whereas, It is doubtful that our application 1065 for a loan and grant can qualify financially, and “Whereas, We believe the County of Chowan can finance 55 per cent of the cost of said project by the sale of bonds at a reasonable rate of in terest. “Be It Resolved, That said appli cation for a loan and grant to the amount of $80,000.00 be changed to that of a grant only.” On Monday of this week Mr. War ren again wrote Mr. Taylor as fol lows: “Congress has finally provideo $300,000,000 for PWA. I am unable to tell you what will be the allot ment for North Carolina. As I wrote : you before the approved or preferred list will get the first call. Whether we will have any allotment over that , list I cannot inform you at the pres ent time. “As I wrote you also before, the 1 PWA tells me that the amended ap ■ plication for Chowan County has 1 never been received here. After it 1 gets here if there is any possible 1 chance to get an allocation I will do ■all in my power to secure same." ( In view of the extreme uncertain ly as to the possibility of securing Federal money to build the Cross Roads school, the Board of Educa -1 tion will meet jointly with the Coun ty Commissioners today (Thursday) at 3 P. M., when the school forces will urge the Commissioners to take 1 definite steps toward the erection of a school. It is thought that possibly a loan for part of the cost can be ; made from the State Literary Fund, NEW 1937 PHILCO J V. •' ‘ tr • < . .
