Title: Frank Webb Estate

Howard Courant
August 6, 1936

Probably never in the history of Elk County has a will for the sum of a half-million dollars been offered for probate, as in the case of that of Frank Webb, deceased, which was probated last Monday by Miss Irene Walker and Clifford Sullivan, attorney of Howard, who are named as executors serving without bond.  By law as well as by will the widow Mrs. Clara Webb receives one half.  With the exception of $5,000 to M.E. Church at Moline, the remaining is divided between members of his family and a few favorite workmen who have been with Mr. Webb for many years.  The exact amount is the estate is not as yet known, the estimate is placed at a half-million.
