LEFT A MILLION

Miss Sarah C. Tracy, Formerly of Upper Troy, Leaves Her Money to Charity—Almost a Million Dollars for Church Institutions.

Miss Sara C. Tracy, a former resident of Lansingburgh, who died November 6 in New York, left almost a million dollars to charity. She was a resident of Lansingburgh for many years, but a few years ago left to travel in Europe. On her return to this country she settled in New York, where she died. She executed a will April 9, 1904, in which she appointed as executors Charles E. Dusenberry of this city and John Foley of Saratoga Springs.
Provisions of the Will.

Miss Tracy leaves to Ella B. Eden, now at Rome, Italy, $5,000; $1,000 to Mary E. Saterlee of Saratoga Springs; $5,000 to Charles E. Dusenberry, one of the executors, and $5,000 to Alma A. Munger of Albany. Margaret Weiss, her cook, receives $5,000, in addition to a gold watch, and Patrick McMahon, her coachman, $1,000. A bequest of $1,000 is left to St. Francis Xavier Church in West Sixteenth Street, New York city, and a similar amount to Bishop McDonnell of Brooklyn. To St. John’s College, Fordham, a bequest of $5,000 is made, the income to be devoted to aiding some young man in obtaining an education for the Roman Catholic priesthood. To the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle $10,000 is left.
For Charity.

She gives absolutely to Bishop Donahue the entire residuary estate, to erect and maintain in the ciocese of Wheeling, W. Va., an industrial school for the unfortunate poor, in memory of her grandfather, Keating Rawson; an orphan asylum for boys and and orphan asylum for girls, in memory of her deceased brother, Edward Tracy. In the event of the death of Bishop Donahue, Archbishop Farley is to act in his stead.
An Interesting Clause.

Attached to her will is the following peculiar provision: “Whereas, I am informed that there are several persons named O’Connor and several persons named Teson, residing in the city of Troy, N.Y., who claim they are second cousins of mine. Whether they are relatives or not, they have no claims upon me, moral, legal or otherwise, and I did not and do not want them to lay any claim to my estate; so I mention this, as I have heard that they might claim they are next of kin.”
Miss Tracy was the sister of Edward Tracy, the multimillionaire Lansingburgh maltster, who died a few years ago in New York.
