GIBBS Estate Totals $923,622, ~of Which Daughter Receives $764,720—Son-in- Law Refuses $100,000 Bequest. RS It. was announced in New York on Thursday that the estate of Mrs. Sarah Barker Gibbs, widow of Edward Nathan Gibbs, formerly of Norwich, who died May 21 Iast, totals $923,622. The estate was devised as follows: ‘Mrs. George Gibbs Sherrill, dflught- er, received $764,720; Sarah Elizs Coit and Katherine Ketchum Coit, cousins, received a joint dsurviving - life annuity of $1,200; George T. Casey, not, related, received $1,000; Emily S. Coit, not related, $1,000; Edward Gibhs Smith, not related, $2,006 and the City of Norwich $2,000. : The assets were: One-half interest in two parcels of reality at Troy, N. Y., $1.800; bank, $7,368; jewelry, $25, 190; clothing, $2,000; mortgage, 310- 233, and stocks and bonds $879,028. Thursday’s New York World said: Charles H. Sherrill, former min- Ister to Argentina and ‘organizer of the great Preparedness parade here, has refused to accept $100,000 be- queather to him by his mother-in- law, Mrs. Sarah Barker Gibbs. who {ied las May and left $564,72¢ to Mrs. Sherrill. His declination became known yes- terday afternoon, when announce- ment was .made from the state comptroller’s office that .an official appraisal had placed the net estate at $885,940. Mr. Sherrill last night told a re- porter for The World over the tele- phone from his home at'No. 20 East Sixty-Fifth street that while *he wag deeply moved by the bequest he pre- ferred that it should go to resid unary estate and become part of his wife's shiire. . The former diplomat seemed to feel that it was a thing of no consequence to look $100,000 in the face, or faces, and then turn a cold shoulder. “It really wouldn't interest any- body,” he said of his refusal. “I don’t like to discuss it. It's rather too per- sonal for discussion. I simply felt that T'd rather have the sum go into the residuary estate and revert to Mrs. Sherrill. Mr. Sherrill, his wife, their little son and Mrs. Gibbs spent much time together. They were all at Bad Harzburg, Germany, In 1914, On their return home Mr. Sherrill said they had been held for seven days under guard at a house in_Muenster, Westphalia, at the time of a sharp German search for spies, and that his American passport, stating had been in diplomatic ignored. Under the. terms of Mrs. Gibbs's will, if her daughter and son-in-law had pre-deceased her, the entire es- tate would have gone to the School of Fine Arts of Yale to be applied for the eresfion of a building to con- tain the BEdward N. Gibbs collection of eighteenth century French furni- ture now owned by the university. Almost all the estate . consists of stocks and bonds service, was BIRTHDAY PARTY Pleasant Afterncon Sgent by Ladies’ Aid 8ociety of Quaker Hill Church.
