Widow's allowance contested in probate court ruling
Judge Loring of the Supreme Judicial Court upheld a widow's allowance for Mrs Helena Bruce after a contest over the will of George FE Bruce. Debts of about 74,904.95 left roughly 20,090 for the trust fund income, with annuities totaling 1,600 yearly. Bruce aimed to provide at least 5,000 annually for his wife and daughter Elinor L Bruce, but the trust income takes precedence over the widow's share.
