Bequest Fraught With Curse Sparks Long Strife in Ohio
Washington C. H. Ohio April 5 A tale of a $50 000 bequest tainted by a dead man's curse unfolds as the will of 68 year old Nettie Creed Chaffin is filed. The trust to Cincinnati Presbyterian Church to build a new church carries a condition about reinterment in a crypt. If declined funds go to a church near Hyde Park or Washington DC per the board's designation. If all refuse a mausoleum in Washington DC is planned. The estate is about $50 000 with under $1 000 to relatives due to the curse. Her former husband Frank A Chaffin died years earlier leaving a strained link with her. He left most of his $60 000 estate to his brother H D Chaffin of Columbus. Nettie was to receive a $400 annuity and contested the will, winning about $20 000 cash but never forgot the curse. She stated she did not want her husband's brother or his kin at her funeral. The will excludes most attorneys who litigated the prior case. Some believe the curse contributed to her death after paralysis. The story continues on the second page.
