Since then, her living expenses have not been high and sequently she died possessed of an estate valued at about $15,000.

Several days before her death, she made a will in which she bequeathed various amounts ranging from $200 to $1,200 and aggregating less than $5,000 to friends, and directing that the residue of her estate go to the Episcopal church, unless claimed by natural heirs within six months.
