James E. Lewis1
b. 4 April 1888
| (Son) Occupation | April 1888 | When he was born in April 1888, James's father's occupation was recorded as brakeman1 |
| (Son) Residence | | and the family was living in Eagle Grove, Wright County, Iowa.1 |
| Birth* | 4 April 1888 | James E. Lewis was born on 4 April 1888 in Eagle Grove, Wright County, Iowa.1 |
| (Grandchild) Will | 23 December 1907 | His maternal grandfather, Michael N. Bracken, prepared his will dated 23 December 1907 in Rudd Township, Floyd County, Iowa, naming James Lewis and his sister, Florence Lewis, and bequeathing to each of them, one-thirty-sixth of his estate, personal and real. His will further identified the siblings as the children of his deceased daughter, Lottie Lewis.2 |
| (Grandson) Death | 2 January 1908 | His grandfather Bracken died of diabetes on 2 January 1908 at age 69, 10 days after preparing his will.3 |
| (Grandson) Probate | 22 January 1912 | The source's probate package from Floyd County, Iowa, for his grandfather, Michael N. Bracken, deceased, contained only a few pertinent summarized documents dated 22 January 1912, the first being the election and written consent of his widow, Margaret Bracken. Her consents included her agreement with the provisions of her husband's last will and testament, and also her consent to have the Executor sell the real estate of the estate, including her one-third share of it, and agreeing that one-third share of the proceeds, after deducting the expenses of the sale, be paid to her in lieu of her distributive share in the estate.
The Executor, Henry Buckman, had provided a list of several pieces of land that had been owned by the deceased, Michael N. Bracken, and reported that he believed that those lands could not be equitably divided among the legatees of the will without sale.
He said there was a petition from the widow of the deceased, Michael N. Bracken, on file with the court asking that her distributive share, consisting of one-third of the estate, be left intact with that of the other legatees and that the Executor sell the same, together with that of the other legatees, and pay to her one-third of the proceeds of the sale.
He provided the court with a document titled "Exhibit A" which was a revised transcription of Michael N. Bracken's will dated 23 December 1907. In the transcription, Sadie Nelson's name had been changed to Sadie Kingsbury, as she had married in August 1908, after her grandfather's death.
The Executor, in his petition, then asked that an order be made by the court empowering and ordering him to sell at private or public sale the real estate as it had been described and to appoint appraisers to determine the lowest price for which the land could be sold, if sold at private sale. There were no objections to his request, and his petition was approved by the court.
There was no final accounting in the probate package reporting sale proceeds or the timing or amounts of distributions to Michael's heirs.2 |
