Will of Eliza Evans Probate Grants Estate to Thurston
Surrogate Fitzgerald admitted the will of Mrs. Eliza Jane Evans to probate, naming George W. Thurston, a colored former Pullman porter, as sole executor and beneficiary of an estate estimated at 75 000 to 100 000 dollars. The will disinherited her husband Thomas H. Evans and left gifts to relatives and charities. The testatrix, frail and repeatedly institutionalized, had befriended Thurston during visits starting in 1895 and even deeded property to him in 1896 to prevent relatives from gaining possession. The husband and others contested the will as the case noted her alleged unsound mind.
