Remembers Church In Will.

The will of Stephanie de Cous Schisano, who died Tuesday, was ad­mitted to probate 
in the Norfolk City Circuit Court yesterday. Among the numerous bequests was that 
of her father's library, portrait, sword and Napoleonic relics to Rt. Rev. T. J. 
Shahan, D. D., rector of the Catholic University of America at Washington. To Rev. 
Thomas E. Waters, rector of the Sacred Heart Catholic church of Norfolk, she left 
a gold medal present­ed to her brother, Leon, by Napoleon III, for heroic services 
on board a French ship in this harbor when the members of the crew were stricken
with yellow fever. She directed that the gold medal and a pair of old fash­ioned 
gold bracelets be used in the chalice of the new Sacred Heart church.

She remembered a number of Nor­folk people in her will, giving them pieces of 
antique mahogany furniture. The estate was valued at $3,500 and Henry B. Reardon 
qualified as admin­istrator with bond in the sum of $4,000.
