The will of the late Calvin T. Hoxie of Poplar Ridge was offered for probate in Surrogate's Court this morning and citation issued to January 4. The estate is valued at between $75,000 and $100,000, according to Attorney Richard C. S Drummond, who represents the executors named in the instrument.
The bulk of the large estate is left to charities including the Auburn Y. M. C. A., The Red Cross, Home for Friendless, Salvation Army, Cayuga Asylum for Destitute Children and
other organizations.
Calvin T. Hoxie died a few weeks ago at his home in Poplar Ridge at the advanced age of 92 years. He settled in Southern Cayuga County when a boy, coming there with his
father, James Hoxie, from New Bedford, Mass. The family settled on a plot of three acres. During the interval down to the present the family prospered until the Hoxie farm of 185 acres is regarded as one of the finest in the county.
By thrift and frugal living Mr. Hoxie amassed a fortune consisting of his farm property and securities in a safe deposit bank in a local bank.
