      Newspaper Article - Wednesday, May 18, 1898 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - The Betsey Stewart Estate - At Surrogate Mead's court last week, an interesting will contest involving an estate valued at $18,000 came up. Mrs. Betsey Stewart, a prominent resident of Pulaski, died on January 12th, leaving $3,000 in real and $15,000 in personal property and a will bequeathing the entire estate excepting $500 to her daughter, Ellen Stewart. The $500 according to the will was to be paid to Charles D. Clark for faithful services rendered to Mrs. Stewart. This provision the will stated was at the request of Mrs. Stewart's husband, Joel Stewart. Ellen Stewart was named executrix of the estate. But Mrs. Stewart's son's, Wilbur, Gilbert and Dexter W., and her granddaughter, Harriet Hill, refused to recognize the will and have filed objections through John W. Shea, their attorney, setting forth that at the time of its alleged execution the deceased was incompetent to make such an instrument. Wilbur Stewart claiming that the will was not that of his mother and that she died intestate, has applied for an appointment as executor of the estate. When the proceedings were called, H. Louis Wallace was made a special guardian over the incidents and the objections were placed on file. The adjournment then was taken to June 9 at 2 o'clock. The matter of the estate of Joel Stewart which has some bearing on the contest was also adjourned to June 9.
