ENDOWS PULPIT OF THE CHURCH. Late Citizen’s Wishes Made Known in His Will, Admitted to Probate Saturday Afternoon. The will of the late Emanuel Jarvis was admitted to probate and record Saturday. The testator bequeaths $2000 to his widow, Emma Jarvis. His unfortunate son, Cornelius Jarvis, who is an inmate of the Columbus State hospital, is given $1000, the interest on said sum to be used for his maintenance during his life. Should he recover from his present affliction, the money is to go to him direct. In case of Cornelius’ death the money is to be divided equally among the testator’s grandchildren, excepting Leonard Belleville, as he has previously been amply provided for. To his daughter, Amanda Belleville he gave a special legacy of $500 to make her share equal with the rest. To the trustees of the church of Christ the testator bequeaths $1200 for the building and furnishing a house of worship, in the neighborhood of the deceased. The above sum is given to the church provided that a building is erected and dedicated within five years after his death. The trustees of the above church are also given the interest on $500 for the preaching of the Gospel in said church. If the church is not erected as stated, the $1200 as mentioned is to be divided equally between the grandchildren, excepting Leonard Bellevill, and in case the church ceases to exist the $500 is to be divided among the grandchildren. It is the testators wish that all of his property be sold and converted into money, first to be used in paying off said legacies and special requests. If a remainder is left it is to be divided equally among the grandchildren. The will was executed March 20th, 1906, and witnessed by Geo. B. Hush and W. W. Merchant, the former now living at Raymond and the latter at Springfield; Mo. His son, John W. Jarvis is named as executor.
