A former Hud son resident and ex‑husband of a shoe maker seeks to terminate a $100,000 trust set up for his son Lyman J Beede and brother Everett. The trust, created by the late Abbie Beede of Hudson, allowed principal to pass to Lyman at age 40 or earlier if sober and prudent, with conditions. Proceedings before Judge Frederick J Dillon in Luf Superior Court were heard yesterday.
The oldest of three brothers from Concord, Tolman graduated from the U S Naval Academy Annapolis in 1925. Before assignment to the DeHavy en in September 1942, he commanded a submarine in the Atlantic fleet. His mother lives at 3 Academy Lane.
A beneficiary testifies he is sober and industrious and seeks to take his share from the trust while his brother, residuary legatee, opposes the move. He describes living on a Warren New Hampshire farm bought eight years ago for 1200, with improvements, and spending half the year there and half in Miami and Hollywood Florida earning from real estate. He reports drawing 150 monthly from the trust and a recent injury, and cites a 1932 agreement with his brother as basis for his claim to manage the principal.
