The will of Margaret Gilliland
From the DAVENPORT (IOWA) WEEKLY LEADER
Tuesday, November 17, 1903

   The will of Margaret Gilliland was filed for porbate in the district clerks’ office this morning. The will provides that the granddaughter, Frances Gilliland, shall be given $100, which is all she is to receive from the estate.
   It provides that, after this amount is paid the estate shall be equally divided between the son, W. H. Gilliland, and the daughter, Jennie Manker. This includes all of the stocks and bonds besides the real estate. It also provides that should the son die his share is to go to the daughter. If she dies, however, the property is to go to her two children.
   The son, W. H. Gilliland, and a nephew, J. M. Gilliland, are made joint executors of the estate and are exempted from giving any bonds. The will was dated January 12, 1899.
