Barbara's will was dated 10 May 1906. She left her 53 acre farm, which was located in Bethel Twp., Armstrong Co., Pa. to her son, Isaiah, with a unique condition. Isaiah had to accept the bequest within 30 days after the appraisement; otherwise the farm would be sold along with her personal property and the procedes divided equally among her seven children. The appraisement and inventory of her personal property, two days after her death, showed a value of $490.30. When the time came for the division of the estate among the heirs, in March 1910, there was only $185.00 in the administrator's account, or $26.43 per child.The will originally provided that, aside from the farm, her children were to share equally. Since her daughter, Nancy, was deceased, she bequeathed her share to four of her eight children --- Robert, William, Samual Young and Barbara Eckman ---after $35.00 was spent for a tombstone for the deceassed daughter. On 27 January 1907 Barbara amended her will to provide that nancy's other four children were to share in their mother's portion of the estate. Each child received $3.31/ $3.30, which was not mentioned in the 1907 change. By the time of the final distribution, Barbara's daughter, Leah Shotts was also deceased. The result was that each of her nine children received $2.94 / $2.93 from their grandmother. Barbara left nothing to her stepchildren, the children of her husband and his first wife, Elizabeth Riggle.
