Will of William Reed Funds Mission Support for 50 Years
The eccentric oil and mineral locator William Reed left a will admitting probate. He bequeathed his widow $20 000 and an income of $1 200 yearly while she lives. After minor bequests, the residue funds real estate investments to yield one third yearly for thirty years for ministers in training, church construction loans, and foreign missionary work. After fifty years the fund supports theological students in United Presbyterian seminaries. Reed’s divining rod is to be sold to the highest bidder.
