He left also personal property valued at $1,142.60, which included 15 cows ($30 to $40 each); 7 heifers; 1 bull ($25); 2 horses ($25 each); farm machinery and equipment; 3 barrels of vinegar; and house furnishings, including 96 yards of carpeting of different kinds. On Susie's death or remarriage, the property was to be divided among the children "mail and femail alike" (Wills, Superior Ct., Trenton 5505S). James A. Montross of Warwick, NY, was named executor.
