Therefore if there are things you & Frances would like Jane & Barbara to have please make a list. The other girls with daughters will do the same, then things can be juggled round fairly as possible.

In this letter of March 26, 1934, Laura Kephart writes her son, Leonard Kephart (1892-1988) to discuss the writing of her will. Laura includes details on where all of her belongings will go and to whom they will go to. Laura lays out her wishes very clearly throughout this letter and in many cases trails off into casually chatting about some of her family members, friends or acquaintances. Laura encloses a letter from Jack E. Coburn who is a close friend of the Kephart family and the executor of the Kephart estate. The Coburn letter can be read in the annotated version of this letter found by clicking on the "Related Materials" link.
