Will Weds Widow in Barn: Dodsworth’s Odd Will
An aged Michigan man Dodsworth leaves his fortune to his widow Celia only if she does not remarry within thirteen months of his burial. If she marries, the will directs the estate to the State of Michigan for an old-women’s home. The widow proceeds to arrange a wedding at the family barn with a rigorous ritual that ends with multiple suitors claiming to be the true husband, prompting a legal fight over the marriage.
