The source is an unsigned carbon copy purporting to be a will of Nora Wells. In it she discusses the health of her
"beloved husband" and makes provision for his care.
This is an inventory dated April 25, 1934. It appears to be the inventory created following the death of Mrs. Wells.
The source is a collection of legal sized carbon copies on onion skin paper. The top and bottom margins have been truncated by
size limitations of the scanner, but no information has been lost. The first few pages appear to be missing as the document
picks up with a description of the kitchen.
The source is an 11x14 document on good quality paper executed in 1934 by all three children of Nora Wells. In it they deal with
the problem that their mother's estate has inadequate resources to pay all the bequests.
In October of 1929 Mrs. Wells applied to the Circuit Court to be allowed to be a "free dealer." As recently as 1929 a married
woman could not handle her own affairs without permission from her husband. We can presume that Mr. Wells had suffered a stroke or was
otherwise no longer capable of managing the family affairs, and so Mrs. Wells needed to be able to act without him. This is an extract
from item 22, Abstract of Title dated 1920.
