Ludington Record-Appeal
July 13, 1905

           Court House News
           
           Two wills were filed in the probate court
        last month made by persons widely known in
        this city and county.  The first was allowed
        as the last will of HELEN McCONNELL, (MRS. DR.
        A. P. McCONNELL) and probated on the petition
        of her son CHARLES McCONNELL.  The will was a
        peculiar one, having been written by the de-
        ceased, in her own handwriting. The provisions
        showed that loving and tender care and remem-
        brance of all her relatives as well as affection-
        ate regard in which she held the furniture and
        beautifyings of her home in which she had assoc-
        iated with them so many years.  Her estate is
        estimated at $3,300 on the petition and is
        divided among her children and shared by her
        husband.
        
           The other is that of HORACE BUTTERS, one
        of our most respected citizens and one of the
        most manly of men.  He divided his entire estate
        equally, giving to his wife and seven children
        share and share alike.  The sharers in his estate
        mentioned are MARY BUTTERS his wife, ISABELLE
        LYONS and MRS. L. ANDERSON his daughters, STEPHEN
        N. BUTTERS, WILLIAM H. BUTTERS, WALTER E. BUTTERS,
        CHARLES BUTTER and MARSHALL F. BUTTERS, his sons.
        MARSHALL F. BUTTERS and JAMES LYONS are appointed
        executors.  In case of their failure to serve the
        Michigan Trust Co. is substituted.  The will will
        be administered by the executors absolutely in
        the manner in which the testator wished it to be.
