Judge Finds Will Legal in Auburn Case
Justice John C. Wheeler at the May term ruled the late James Hartigan's will was properly executed on October 15, 1945, with Hartigan of sound mind and no undue influence. Contestants’ objections were dismissed as jurors complied. The will names a funeral director, church bequests to five cousins, and leaves the residue to Daniel Desmond of Poplar Ridge, who served as executor. Desmond had cared for Hartigan while he lived in Aurora and later in an Auburn nursing home.
