Hannah E. Perkins, widow of A. E. Perkins,
was recently filed with the probate court and how notice of contest on the
part of her grand-daughter, Mrs. Grace Thomas, is given. The will was
ex-edited shortly before the death of the testatrix and was witnessed by
Dr. _. E. Youmans, Dr. Hugo Philler and Judge D. S. Tuilar. It gives first
$200 in trust to A. J. Frame, the amount to be used in caring for the
burial lot of Mr. and Mrs. Perkins at Prairie
Home Cemetery in this city. Next it bequeaths to Mrs. Grace Thomas, the
grand-daughter, $100. The remainder of the property real and personal is
to be divided equally between the son and daughter,
Charles A. Perkins and Mrs. Grace E. Utter.
It is understood that the grand-daughter, Mrs. Grace Thomas, who after her
mother's death, became the special charge of Mrs.
Perkins and lived with her on as intimate terms as her own children
had done, until the marriage to Mr. Thomas, feels aggrieved at the
provisions of the will, and believes that undue influences were brought to
bear on her grandmother about the time the will was made. The claim will
be made in court, it is said, that Mrs. Perkins
was not of a sound disposing mind when the instrument was made, and that
improper influences were used. Ryan and Merton are reported to have been
engaged by the plaintiff. 1897: April 1st - Waukesha Freeman - Waukesha, WI. The matter of the probate of the will of the late
Mrs. Hannah E. Perkins, came up in the
probate court Thursday. T. E. Ryan appeared on behalf of Mrs. Grace E.

evidence was offered and Judge Griswold admitted the instrument to
probate.
