Eaton, who died May 3, 1923. The will, admitted to probate May 25, 1923, gave to testator’s widow the use of all his estate during her lifetime and the remainder, except for a small sum for the care of his burial lot, in equal shares to his children, Cortez De Ver Eaton (executor), Wesley Paul Eaton, Bennie K. Eaton and Alice M. (Eaton) Mitchell. The account was filed following the death of the life beneficiary.
