Henry DAUGHTREY, 
        will, 1 Mar 1912 

ENTIRE ESTATE IS BEQUEATHED TO WIDOW 

  Suffolk, Va., Sept. 29. - Much interest has been created in Franklin over 
the finding of the will of the late Henry Daughtrey, who was believed to have 
died intestate. 

  Had that been the case, his estate would have gone to a brother and several 
nieces and nephews.  The will, written on the back of a calendar sheet of 
February, 1912, bearing the date of March 1, 1912, was accidentally found. 
It was in Mr. Daughtrey's handwriting, signed by him, and it bequeathed all of 
the property of the testator to a widow, Mrs. Virginia Cooper.  Mrs. Peggy 
Daughtrey, Mrs. Cooper's mother, lived at the home of Mr. Daughtrey and took 
care of him.  The estate is valued at about $10,000.
