WILL OF MRS. MARY S.
YOUNT IS CONTESTED
----------
Andrew H. Yount, of Chica-
go, Filed Suit This Morn-
ing To Set Aside Instru-
ment Executed By His
Wife---Four Grounds On
Which Suit is Based. ----------
The title of the suit filed today is: Andrew H. Yount vs. Isaac Carter, executor of the will of Mrs. Mary S. Yount, Mary J. Brown, Eva Talbert Roub, Marie Rogers, Lawrence Rogers, Robert Rogers, Mary Wright Orebaugh, John A. Wright, Gertrude Wright, Alsie B. Dole, Mary Perrine, Nancy H. Wright, the Methodist Episcopal hospital and Deaconess Home, and the Preachers' Aid Society of the Indiana conference of the Methodist Episcopal church.
The complaint sets out that the testatrix died without children or their descendants, and without father and mother, and that the plaintiff, except for the execution of the pretended will, is entitled to inherit all the property of the deceased, the property being of the probable value of $30,000.
The complaint alleges that the will is invalid for the reason that Mrs. Yount at the time of making the will was a person of unsound mind, that the instrument was unduly executed, that it was executed under duress, and that it was obtained by fraud.
Under the will Mary J. Brown was to received the sum of fifty dollars, Eva Talbert Raub a set of spoons and some furniture, Marie Rogers furniture, Lawrence Rogers the sum of two hundred dollars, Robert Rogers two hundred dollars, Mary W. Orebaugh a gold necklace and a piano, John A. Wright one hundred dollars, Gertrude Wright one hundred dollars, Alsie B. Dole one hundred dollars, Mary Perrine one hundred dollars, and Nancy H. Wright fifteen hundred dollars in trust. An addition was to be built to the Methodist hospital and the residue after paying these bequests and building the hospital addition was to go to the Preachers' Aid Socety[sic].
