Harriet A. Weed, mother of the de- cedent. was a daughter of David and Anna. Miller. and had one brother and one Sister. The brother was Edgar G., who died February 24th, 1889, at Ham- ilton, Ontario, leasing three children, Joseph, James and Hattie, now of Ham- ilton. The sister was Louisa A., wife of Ira Palmer, who died April 5, 1880, leaving six children—Anna A., wife of James J. Miller of Stamford; Celia L., Wlfe of Abijah Merritt of Mount Kis- co; Emily G., Wife of Terah Miller of Stamford; George M., Harrison H. and Madison M., of Stamford. While all of the cousins agreed that neither one of them had any personal ~ desire to undertake the responsibilities of administering the estate, the de- scendants of relatives of Weed’s father and the descendants of relatives of Weed’s mother each appeared to want to have something to say about it. After some conversation it was prac- tically settled that there should be two administrators, one representing the Weed and one the Miller branch of the family. The gentlemen chosen were William B. Reed of South N orwalk and Harrison H. Palmer of Stamford. They are to appear to-morrow morning prepared to give bonds and they will then be formally appointed. There are cousins of all degrees who claim heirship to the estate. . Judge Finch intimated that he would at an early day make a finding as to which of these could inherit. If his, construc- tion of the law does not satisfy all the claimants, the dissatisfied , ones may take an appeal to the Superior Court. . A suggestion was made at the meet— ing that the sermons written by Weed’s father, found scattered about the house, be collected and presented to Yale Col- lege, of which he was a graduate. There was a volume containing some of his sermons published many years ago. The probability is that all the persona ' al estate, sermons included, will be sold at auction after an inventory has been made. No trace of a will has yet - been found. 90 Monitor Daskam.

The Lan- ccstrian association, named after the, hcsfogic school, still has a membership 0 The meeting was called to order by Samuel Daskam of Norwalk, who rang the old_handbell--that he used to ring as monitor fifty-eight years ago. The oldest man present was Horace _Mans- field; he was born in 1808 andisstiil halo and lively. He and Frank A. Jones, born in 1811, are two of the best preserved schoolboys of the associa- ticn. They entered the old Lancas- trian school in 1822 on the first day that Mr. Lovell ascended the platform as pedagogue. . . Everything went along in a lovely » manner until someone passed . the olives to Mr. Daskam, and then there. was a scene that beggars description. If there is anything on the earth that “Sam’? hates it is olives. Quiet was at 19st restored and the festivities‘con- tmued. There were speeches galore A Novel idea.‘ .Phctographer Lewis publishes a con- pon in to-day’s GAZETTE which when presented with two dollars at his gala lery, will entitle the holder to. one dozen of his celebrated three dollar cabinet photographs.
