Man Renounces His Wife's Will in Unusual Probate
In Thurmont on Thursday Jacob VY Sell renounced the will of his wife Ellen Reeves Sell, dated September 9 1952, offered for probate in the Orphans Court. She died September 23 at Snyder Convalescent Home near Gettysburg, leaving most residue to the Home for the Aged in Frederick.
