Additional Comments:
Notes: It's a little confusing what Sister L W GRAVES was seeking from the estate of her late husband. The wording is "any portion of the devise given by her former husband for the preaching of the gospel and to be controled by the church for that purpose." Possibly it was something used in the services such as a Communion set, Bible - never clarified.
