WILL OF JAMES DECKER
Settled Differences

The troubles of the heirs of the late James Decker were finally and 
satisfactorily settle this week and all legal proceedings suspended. Leonard 
Decker gives Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Woley, sisters and heirs by will to two-
thirds of the old and new Decker House and other property west of Main Street, 
$12,000 in cash for their undivided interests, excepting certain lots of minor 
value. In this final settlement the contestants of the will (Mrs. Woley and 
Mrs. Spencer) will get $16,000 each or about what the will intended. Landlord 
Woley will vacate the Decker House a week from today and the house with all 
its appurtenances will pass into the hands of Leonard Decker, who will employ 
an experienced hotel man to manage it. We trust that Mr. and Mrs. Woley will 
remain residents of our city, as they most likely will, to attend to their 
large property interests here.
