Mrs Potter Inherits After Will Revoked in Portland
Mrs Ellen W Potter, longtime Boston housemaid to Mrs A H Aldrich, inherits about 22000 dollars plus a house in Montreal after the death of her late husband. His will conditioned marriage to his uncle Mr Walker of Portland, Maine, for the bequest, a clause she declined, and an annuity of zero a month. Walker’s death ends those conditions, with probate to follow in Portland and further provisions possibly for her. Potter plans to travel to Montreal after proceedings to learn more.
