LARGE FORTUNE LEFT BY DR. CALHOUN

( from The Atlanta Constitution)

The Will of the late Dr. Abner W. Calhoun, disposing of an estate of 
approximately $700,000. has been probated in common form. A part of the 
estate consists of valuable real estate. The various large legacies were 
bequeathed to his children and relatives. To each of his four children, 
Ferdinand Phinizy Calhoun, Andrew Calhoun, Susan W. Oglesby and Harriet H. 
Calhoun, Dr. Calhoun left $100,000., this amount to include any sums which 
have been advanced to the children during his lifetime.

To each of his three nieces, Mrs. Arnold Broyles, Mrs. Colquitt Carter and 
Mrs. Mike Powell, he left $500. and to his nephew and namesake, Abner W. 
Calhoun, he bequeathed this watch and $500.

To his brother A.E. Calhoun, he left $5000. and instructions that if there 
were outstanding debts of his brother, they were to be paid to the sum of 
$2,500.

Three thousand dollars were left to his sister Mrs. Susan C. Hill of Newnan, 
Georgia.

In keeping with the kindness and graciousness of the well-loved physician 
was his bequest of $100. to Amanda Barnett, the nurse of all his children, 
the money being left to her "in recognition of her faithfulness." Dr. 
Calhoun further requested that she be provided for in her old age by his 
wife or children.

To his sons he also bequeathed a farm in Coweta county, valued at $8,000. 
and a lot on Marietta street, 82 x 340 feet.

To his daughters in addition to other legacies, he gave his property on the 
west side of Broad street, the dimensions being 105 x 50 feet.

The remainder of his estate he bequeathed to his wife, Mary Louise Calhoun, 
and she, with the two sons, were appointed executors of the Will, this being 
done in a codicil.
