Floyd Foster will 1922

"The late Floyd Foster left a will, the leading provisions of which are as follows: He leaves to his widow, Mrs. Margaret Foster the home place in town and the farm 3 and one half miles south-east of town during her lifetime. At her death the town home will be sold and divided among the heirs, while the Ralph Foster place will be divided between Ralph Foster and his full sister, Mrs. Nellie Wilson. The remainder of the estate is to be divided equally between the eight children by bis former marriages. The value of the estate was approximate $130,000." (which sound like too large and amount. I suspect the number was supposed to read $13,000 at most. Even that amount would be quite large for a man who was principally just a farmer.)
