At the opening of the rebellion May enlisted, leaving his young

that he had died. The young wife mourned for a time, and
then married a rich widow.
All of the estate is in realty except $50,000, nearly
all of household effects. The heirs of the dead
millionaire are the widow, a son, Albert J. Snell, and
Mrs. Grace Coffin, Mrs. Mary Stone and Mrs. Alice McCrea,
daughters. By law, one-third of the $1,050,000 goes to the
widow and the remainder falls equally to the four children share

resident of this city and the wife of a retired merchant, died
suddenly this afternoon. Mrs. Hayn was called to
the bedside of her dying daughter, Mrs. Nellie Neidlinger
