EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING ON BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
TESTATOR FEARS
'HUNGRY LAWYERS'
Will of John Boyd, Berkeley
"Town Philosopher," Is
Filed for Probate
OAKLAND. Jan. Visions of
hungry lawyers consuming his estate
haunted the mind of the late John Boyd,
Berkeley "town philosopher." civil war
veteran and griziled expressman, when
he wrote his will. The document 11*4
for probate today was climaxed with
the hope that" no "hungry lawyer"
should see fit to dispute or hreak it.
In addition, he de«lred Superior Judge
Waste and City Attorney Redmond
Staats of Berkeley to act as executors
without bonds, but with the cautious
riualincatlon that their selection should
be vacated if they •barged too much.
The will disposed of Boyd's house
and real property at 1915 .Addlson
street, Berkeley, to his Ron. Sherman,
and his daughter. Flora E. Boyd. They
w»r« to hold it 'intlt taxes got too
high, and then to >cii Convertible
securities, including cash In bank, are
to b* divided among his grandchildren.
Mrs. Laura B. Nelson, Lillian Francis
and Thora E. Boyd, and $10 each is
given to Fred an-1 Myrtie Fonxo. The
will, as Boyd wrote it la August. 190 S.
and which he signed in three places
«nd illustrated with a map of his Ad
dison street property, follows:
In case of my death I give and
bequeath my house and lot, lil6
Addißon street (where I am living.
at this date), to Sherman and Flora
E. Boyd to have and to hold until
taxes get too high on the prop
erty for it to be retained as a
residence, In which case the prop
erty may be sold and the money ,
divided. I also give to them the
household furniture and to Sher
man mv horse, wagon and harness,
and further I direct that all
moneys which I may leave in bank,
building and loan stock or is com
ing to me from the lot on Cherry
street, North Oakland, which T have
sold to William R- Francis, be
equally divided between Mrs. JLaura.
B. Nelson, Sherman Boyd, I>illie
Francis and Thora E. Boyd. and
to Fred and Myrtle Fonzo $10 each
out of my money in bank.
I would like the picture in the
hall, war relics, etc., to be divided
between the children named if they
want them.
I hope this is plainly expressed
and according to law and that no
hungry lawyer will try to dispute
or break it. And if thero ie any
executor needed T appoint Judge
William Waste and Redmond C
Staats without bonds if they don't
charge too much.

The line? indicate that the "Texa*
