Racine Journal Racine, Wisconsin Fri. Oct 10, 1902 October 10, 1902
Grandchildren of the late James 
Yates of Sylvannia promise to 
contest against will.

When the last will & testament of 
the late James Yates was presented 
for probate in the county court 
yesterday, objection was made to 
the same by the guardian of Leslie 
M. & J.M Payne; grandchildren of 
the deceased, and this means a 
contest -
It appears that the grandchildren 
are not mentioned in the will. All 
of the estate and other properties 
are going to widow. Just what the 
estate of the deceased is worth is 
not stated, but the conservative 
estimate placed it from 5,000 to 
10,000. 
 James Yates was one of the 
pioneer residents of the county. 
For possibly 25 years, he was the 
postmaster off & on in Sylvania. 
Some people say he held the office 
for a longer period than any other 
postmaster in the state.
Mr. Yates was a good & honest man. 
By hard work, careful attention to 
his farm, and other business; he 
managed to save considerable 
money.
