The will has been filed for probate. Property of great value, including a large farm, was willed to Mrs. Hoover, providing she did not remarry, while the personal property was to be divided among his lawful heirs. If he died first, lawyers say, then the will was in force transferring the title of the farm to the wife. The supposition is that Mrs. Hoover rushed to her husband’s rescue in Xhe burning shed and met death.
