D03-ter, was militar yaid to President Lincoln and a prominent lawyer of Bethlehem. Her daughter, Margaret, found Mrs. Kight dead in her bedrom when she returned from her place of employment about 6.30 p. m. A few minutes later, Mrs.

Kight's husband, John W. Kight, a real estate agent, from whom she was separated, but who called on her frequently, arrived at the house. The police used a pul- moter but were unable to revive the woman. Mrs. Kight was 53 years of age and her former home was in Bethlehem.

Her mother, now Mrs. Evelyn A. Cregin, formerly Miss Evelyn De-pew, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward A.

Depew, of Easton, is traveling in Europe. Four children survive her, Evelyn, Margaret, Helen and John W. Kight, Jr. General William Emile Doster, father of Mrs. Kight, was born in Bethlehem on January 8, 1837, and died at St.

Luke's Hospital, that city. on July 2, 1919. In his will, which was dated July 25, 1918, he bequeath ed his daughter, Mrs. Kight, the sum of fifty cents. The estate was divid ed between children by his second marriage and grandchildren.

The Children receiving the bulk of the estate were Wadsworth and Alexie Doster, Dorothy, wife of Benjamin Cole, and Beatrice, wife of James A. Otis. He also willed money to Yale University, from which he was graduated in 1857 and to the Moravian College for Women and St. Luke's Hospital, Bethlehem. -v On March 27, 1920, Mrs.

Kight filad an appeal from the decision of Register of Wills Herbert D. in admitting to probate the will of her father, Gen. Doster. The executors named in the will were Frank P. Snyder and Thomas F.

Keim, of Bethlehem. The hearing in the appeal was before President Judge Russell C. Stewart and after numerous sessions were held, the court handed down an opinion, which was a decision against Mrs. Kight, who had claimed that undue influence was used on her father before he wrote his will and also that Gen. Doster was of unsound mind when he prepared the document.

Mrs. Kight, it was stated, married against the will of her father and went to New York to live. On a night in midwinter, she came to her fath er's home on Lehigh avenue, Bethle hem, with her children. After the children were put to bed Gen. Doster arrived at his home and insisted on Mrs.

Kight leaving the house. She refused to go and later resisted the efforts of constables and police of ficers and barricaded the doors and windows. Her father finally left the house and went to the building at Broad and Main streets, Bethlheem, where his law office was located, and he resided there until he was taken ill with pneumonia. He, was then removed to St. Luke's Hospital, and died shortly afterwards at the age of 82.

During the hearing before Judge Stewart it was brought out that the children of Gen. Doster, by the second marriage, had made an offer of money to Mrs. Kight on condition that she would not start a contest over her father's will. She refused to accept these terms and later filed an appeal. Mrs.

Ruth Porter Doster, General Doster's second wife, from whom lie was divorced, afterwards married Edward Doster, son of General Dos ter by his first marriage. She com mitted suicide about five years ago by inhaling illuminating gas at her apartment in New York city. Her husband went to Mexico six years ago and disappeared in that country at the time riots were occurring there. Nothing has been heard from him.
