Tilden Will Leaves Estate and Public Beneficiaries
The will of Samuel J. Tilden filed at Greystone names executors Mr. Bigelow Andrew H. Green and George W. Smith. All relatives receive equal shares via trusts with income from specific sums, until heirs’ deaths. Mary B. Pelton receives a fixed bequest and the rest goes to public causes including libraries in New Lebanon Yonkers and possibly New York. Real estate falls under executors' disposal with Greystone and Gramercy Park under same rule. The estate is valued at about 10 million but auditors say this overstates actual value, and the trustees must pursue the greatest public good.
