 One of them stated he would pay for 

 tlu'iii tlie followini; week, and lie did. 

 The widow tli"ii went lo live witii tlie 

 son who had acted as spokesman, Imt 

 sli(! lived h'ss than a month. 'I'he two 

 sons a.naiu came and aske(i to iiave tiie 

 order dupliiated. Imi stated that we 

 siumhi \i)(>k til the estate for payment 

 of tlie hill. We ciiiisidcred the estate 

 good for it and sent the bill to the 

 administrator, hut 1 heard nothing from 

 him nntil after my father'^ death in 

 May, l!»l(l, when 1 was ap^inted ad 

 ministrator of his estate. I pressoil the 

 heirs for a settlement and then fmind 

 that the sister had ohjectiMl to the pay- 

 ment. Affairs went along in this con 

 'lit ion for o\er a year, finally the ad 

 ministrator phoned me tliat the mimey 

 was ready, stating that the Judges had 

 ordered it jiaid, as it was the la>t re 

 maining idaim, letting the Innrs thresli 

 the matter out later. 



1 might state that the hook of in 

 struetions issued hy the Judge of tlie 

 I'robato court of this county to an ad 

 ministrator states that all claims must 

 he paid hy the administrator, provid- 

 ing the ass(>ts hold out and none ot 

 the heirs olijects. P.ut liow is the Ho 

 rist to know or find out on short notice 

 whether all the heirs have gi\en or 

 will give tlieir consent to t)ie jiayment 

 of the lull for the funeral tlowers.' I 

 should like tiie opinions of some other 

 llorists on these matters. I might cite 

 several other cases which, while similar, 

 vary to a certain di^gree, but believe 

 1 have gi\('n enough to make mv ease
