WHAT THE STORK DID THRICE DELAYED ESTATE SETTLEMENT
In White Plains a vast fortune from Henry O Havemeyer was postponed three times due to births in the Havemeyer line. Citations and adjournments were issued by Surrogate Stikman as new heirs appeared, with a key date set for settlement after a third delay. The estate, once valued at about 1,750,000, involved trustee Brenry O Havemeyer and Charles F Havemeyer, with ties to the Sugar refining business and a Westchester country home. The evolving heirs list prompted repeated court actions and revised settlement dates.
