          To Jacob G. Wolf and W. W. Woodyard of said County, Greeting:

          Whereas, Martha J. McGaughey widow of David S. McGaughey deceased, late of said County and State, has filed a petition, as above shown, setting forth that the estate of said decedent, subject to administration, both personal and real, is not worth more than Five Hundred Dollars exclusive of legal encumbrances thereon, and asking an appraisement thereof.

          Therefore, I have appointed Jacob G. Wolf Jr. to act in concert with W. W. Woodyard selected by said widow (both disinterested householders of said County), as appraisers of said estate.
