Goodfellow Will Upheld Jury Decides Will Valid
The jury found for the proponents in the John Goodfellow will contest after more than two weeks of trial before Judge G W Wood. The 1917 will leaves income from a $121,000 estate to seven children and a grandchild, with a trustee managing assets for decades. The verdict preserves the will against claims of unsound mind and sets the stage for possible appeal to the supreme court.
