Petition for Letters of Administration

Filed April 3rd 1914
[signed] D.M. Gillespie
Clerk of the Surrogate's Court

TO THE SURROGATE'S COURT OF THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS, IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK:
The Petition of Mary J. Hill, a resident of the City of Ithaca, County of 
Tompkins and State of New york, died on the 18th day of March, 1912, at Ithaca
in the County of Tompkins and said State of New york, without leaving any last
Will and testament, to the best of your petitioner's knowledge, information
and belief.

That the said decedent died possessed of certain property within this State
and County; and that as your petitioner is informed and believes, the value of
the personal property of which said decedent died possessed (together with the 
probable amount to be recovered by reason of any right of action granted an 
administrator of the said decedent by special provision of law), does not
exceed the sum of Two Hundred dollars; said decedent owned - no - real estate;

That said decedent left him surviving Mary J. Hill his widow who resides at 
Ithaca in the county of Tompkins, and that the following named persons are all 
the next of kin of the said decedent, and that their relationship to said 
decedent and their places of residence, as far as they are known to your 
petitioner or can be ascertained by her with due diligence, are as set
opposite their names respectively, as follows:

Name: Helena E. Hill
Relationship: daughter
Residence: Ithaca, N.Y.

That as your petitioner is informed and believes all of the foregoing named 
persons are of full age, and sound mind

That your petitioner is widow of said decedent and as such is entitled to 
adminstration upon his estate.

That no petition for a grant of letters of administration upon said estate has 
been filed in any Surrogate's Court in this State, as your petitioner is
informed and believes, and no Surrogate's Court has acquired jurisdiction of
or over such estate. 

Your petitioner therefore prays for a decree awarding letters of
administration, prior or equal to that of your petitioner, or otherwise
required by law to be cited, to show cause why such a decree should not be
made, or such other order or decree made as may be just and proper.

Dated the 3rd day of April, 1914
