Legacy depends upon how odd ornaments must be displayed
Burlington Iowa January 3. If the Whatsover circle of King's Daughters succeeds in accepting the Clare Morehouse homestead as a condition the portrait of W. H. Morehouse and a large pier glass must be placed in fixed spots. The will devises the homestead to the circle but if rejected the portrait would hang over the mantel of the reception hall while the pier glass stands there. If not accepted the homestead goes to the First Baptist church as parsonage and the portrait would be hung in the Burlington hospital or Mason temple. The King’s Daughters plan to decide early in 1920.
