Upon the death of Alexander Merculief, his nuncupative will, filed 

 on St. Paul Island, distributed his bank account, $170, as follows: 



Paul Merculief, jr $30 



A.uxenia Dynkanof 20 



Terenty Merculief 30 



Dosofai Merculief 30 



Makar Merculief $30 



Mariana Merculief 30 



Total. 



170 



These heirs notified Trustee Lembki^y that rather than have the 

 cash they desired that the several amounts be deposited in the bank 

 mentioned and accounts be opened with each in the name of W. I. 

 [jembkey, trustee. Accordingly this action was taken. 



The pass books representing the accounts in question have been 

 transmitted to Assistant Agent Judge, together with blank checks 

 signed by the trustee, in order that Mr. Judge may draw the annual 

 interest next spring. This action is taken because of the fact that 

 the trustee is in Alaska and will not be able otherwise to draw the 

 interest. 



Payments Made by W. I. Lembkey of Interest on National-Bank Accounts, 

 Year Ended Dec. 31, 1911, on St. Paul Island, Alaska.
