Fall River Heiress Grapples With Odd Will Provisions
Grace Hartley, a Vassar student and granddaughter of Cook Borden, inherits about 30000 from Dr J W Hartley but faces harsh conditions.

Grace and her brothers expect no contest, while family history adds bitterness to the clause bound by sacred wishes.
