Sober sons inherit if Booth sons stay temperate
In Riverhead, L. I. May a will probated in the surrogate's court leaves $45,000 in trust to two sons Horatio and Irwin Booth and daughter Mrs. Mary H Bringham. If either son drinks, executors may divert all income to his wife. The two sons aged 45 and 50 are respected businessmen and the family expects the estate to be divided after the last son dies. Mr Booth, 70, bank president and temperance advocate, died last April leaving three children. The town Southold is noted for temperance history and a possible future temperance hotel idea stirred speculation.
