HOSPITAL, CHURCH RECEIVE STANGE ESTATE BEQUESTS

Jackson County Public hospital and the Maquoketa Evangelical and Reformed church will each receive one thousand dollars from the estate of the late Herman Stange. Terms of Stange's will were revealed when the document was admitted to probate in the district court Monday.
In his last testament, dated Jan. 12, 1951, Stange stipulated that the sum given to the hospital not become part of the hospital general fund, but shall be used by the persons who are trustees at the time of his death for some specific hospital improvement or need. The gift to the Evangelical and Reformed church is to be used for local church purposes at the discretion of the officers of the church.
Fifteen relatives were listed, each to receive one thousand dollars, with the remainder of the estate going to a nephew, Harris Penrose, who was also named executor.
