ANXIOUS LEGATEES. A bill was filed yesterday in the Circuit Court by Benjamin and George W. Adams, executors under the will of Joanna Adams, deceased, .........
This will was executed in April, 1869, and probated in October, 1877, and bequeathed among other things, $2,000 to the Woman's Board of Missions for the Interior, $1,000 to the American Home Missionary Society, $1,000 to the Northwestern Freedman's Aid Society, $1,000 to the American Tract Society, and $1,000 to the Society for the Education of Young Men for the Christian Ministry in the New School Presbyterian Church. Since the will was made, the Old School and New School Presbyterian Churches have been united, and the New School churches which have been contributing to the Woman's Board of Missions for the Interior withdrew therefrom, and organized a new society called the Woman's Presbyterian Board of Missions for the Northwest. Both societies now claim the $2,000, and the executors cannot decide to which it belongs. Since the will was made, also, the New School churches have withdrawn from the American Home Missionary Society, and formed a society called the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church of the United States. Both those societies claim the $1,000 legacy given to the former, which forms the second of the questions submitted for the arbitration of a court. There never has been any such association as the Society for the Education of Young Men for the Christian Ministry in the New School Presbyterian Church, mentioned in the will, though there is a corporation known as the Board of Education of the Presbyterian Church of the U.S.A, which liberally offers to take charge of the above legacy, and the executors want to know whether it is entitled thereto. Lastly, the generous testatrix evidently labored under a mistake when she bequeathed $1,000 to the Northwestern Freedman's Aid Society, as no such corporation has ever had existence, and the executors want to know whether the American Freedman's Aid Association, an institution with a somewhat similar name and mission, can be allowed to receive the $1,000 given to the former.
