Throwback History Thursday! π
Cornelius O'Keefe died on May 26th, 1919, at the age of 82.
When he died, he left a will for some of his children. π
He and Mary Ann had nine children, and originally had all nine in his will, but had changed it to include only seven, as two had died early on.
He left them $20,000 and had Mary Ann give them their pay once they had reached 25 years old. She would also be given $20,000. π΅
Cornelius had left his wife, who was the trustee of the will, all his plates, china, books, pictures, liquors, many household items, and much more. ποΈπΌοΈπͺ
