Probate filings reveal sizable estates and annuity decades
An illustrated probate record shows Lactus Tuckerman’s will naming three sons as executors and a $24,000 annual annuity to his widow Mrs. Tuckerman, with the 1600 I Street Northwest property and Stockbridge, Massachusetts holdings. The estate splits among seven children after her death, while Dr. Simon I. Groot’s estate favors his family with a trust for granddaughter Marie Louise Witherow and specific distributions to Mary Groot and others. A separate administration request covers wreck victim Mattie L. Compher’s estate, limited to damages from the railroad company, and Gils Key’s 1901 will directs property to his wife, daughters, and several cemetery interests with subsequent bequests to Thomas heirs.
