Being of sound mind...
« on: November 05, 2002, 10:58:00 PM »
    My husband has a copy of a will that was written during the Victorian period.  My husband's ancestor is left nothing.  The way the will is worded is very funny.  Here is a paraphrased quote " Since my son, XXX, received a generous portion of my personality he needs nothing more from me".
    Along those sentiments, can you imagine what Edith would have written in the will about each child?

Quoting Edith's will:

"To my grandson Edward, I leave only 5 pounds of sugar, to sweeten his sour disposition!"

ROFL!  That's great - love it!

Excerpt from Edith's will:

"To my charming grandson Quentin, who always made me feel young (but also threatened to kill me), I leave the sum of 2 cents because that's all he'll probably ever amount to."
