Millionaire's Only Son Cut Off Without Penny
Bloomington Aug 6 The will of the late Colonel Thomas Snell provoked active discussion in central Illinois and northern Iowa as heirs contend the estate worth about 2 million should be divided. Only Richard Snell of Clinton survives among five children, and he is completely cut off. The entire estate is placed in trust, not to be distributed until twenty years after the death of the youngest heir, with the youngest daughter of Mrs William Duremore as potential last beneficiary. If kept intact, the estate could approach a million in value in time, given earnings. The heirs plan to argue the testator's eccentricity prevented fair distribution and seek to set aside the will.
