Notes	Mrs. Almeda M. Daynard to Receive Estate of Her Husband. Almeda M. Daynard of Evans Mills will usher suit against the heirs at law, devises and legacies of her husband, Luther L. Daynard, begun some time ago to break his last will, and is to be accorded the real property absolutely. A decision to this effect has just been handed down by Justice Edgar C. Emerson, who heard the preceeding as raferen. Real property estimated at $10,000 is thus lost to thelisters under the last will and reverts to the widow. The distribution of the personal estate some $2,800, is not affected under the decision. Mrs. Daynard sued to compel the specific performance of su agreement which she claimed her husband made with her in 1908 whereby he agreed to leave her all of his property upon his death. Judge Emerson sustains this claim and orders that she be absolute owner of a farm of 188 acres in the town of Leray, upon which she and her husband formerly resided, and also of a house and lot in Evans Mills. The farm in question was formerly owned by Alfred Vebber, father of Mrs. Daynard, and is her homestead property. After Mr. Vebber's death his surviving heirs united in a covenance of the farm to Mrs.Daynard, and she and her husband resided there for many years until about six years ago, when they moved to the property in Evans Mills. It was Mrs. Daynard's claim that in March, 1908, she and her husband entered into agreement whereby to so arrange their affairs that in the event of the death of either the survivor would become the owner of all of their properties. In accordance with such agreement, Mrs. Daynard executed to her husband a deed of the farm, and it appeared that Daynard about a month subsequently executed a will whereby he gave his wife all of the property excepting a samll reservation for the purpose of maintaining his cemetery lot. This condition of affairs continued until his last illness in December, 1910,when he executed another will giving Mrs. Daynard a life estate only and directing that upon her death the estate be divided among a number of different persons, all of whom were made defendants in the wife's suit. These defendants included Norman Hart of Glen Park, a former employe? of the Daynards, who was bequethed $500 from the personal estate, and who appeared on the trial by John Conboy Elmer VanBrocklin,aged 23, a son of a neighbor of the Daynards in Evans Mills, bequethed $2,000; Margaret Murgy, an infant, grand oleeq of Mrs. Daynard and given $200; Ruth Sixbury, to whom was bequeathed the house and lot in Evans Mills, and Merton Sixbury of Deleriets, residuary legstee and who, under the will, would eventually become the owner of the farm. Mr. Sixbury was a second cousin of Mr.s Daynard and formerly worked the Daynard farm. He is now a manager of the St. Regis Paper Co.'s farm at Defferiets. Attorney E. R. Wilcox appeared for Master VanBrocklin; Archie Ryder looked after the interest of Miss Murphy and Jerme B. Cooper appeared for the Sixbury family. George W. Matliett, executor under the last will, was represented Leue & State. Justice Emerson holds a substance that the later will made by Daynard is in violation of the agreement he had formerly made with his wife and that under it none of the legatees or devisees acquired any interest in the real estate. In accordance with the finding it is directed that the several defendants execute quit claim deeds to the plaintiff. Pitcher & O'Brien were attorneys for Mrs. Daynard. Mrs. Ameda Vebber Daynard (SPECIAL TO THE TIMES) Evans Mills, April 3 - Mrs. Ameda Vebber Daynard, widow of Luther Daynard of this village, died early this morning at her home in this village, following a long illness, aged 68 years.

They conducted for many years a farm in the town of Leray moving to this village a number of years ago. They had no children. Surviving is one nephew, Mark Vebber of Evans Mills and two nieces, Ada Vebber of Evans Mills and Marguerite Putnam of Black River.
