Read More	Married Elizabeth Ann Sutherland in Santa Clara County on Dec 17 1876, in 1880 census, they are seen living in Cambria ______________________________________________________________________ MRS. HEARST’S SON GETS BULK OF RICHES Collateral Relatives Are Left $575,000; Grandsons Get S. F. Building; $60,000 Bequeathed U.C. San Francisco. The will of Mrs. Phoebe Apperson Hearst was filed for probate April 17 in the Superior Court in this city by her attorney, Charles S. Wheeler. William Randolph Hearst, her son, 1 is named the residuary legatee, as well as being the recipient of several specific legacies in the will, and therefore directly inherits the greater part of the estate, which is estimated at somewhere between 5,000,000 and $10,000,000. . The Hearst building at Third and Market streets is left to the five sons of William Randolph Hearst in trust, and the Pleasanton home, "Hacienda del Po/.o de Verona," is to be sold for their benefit by the terms of a codicil. Of the other real estate of Mrs. Hearst in California the McCloud river property is given to her niece, Mrs. Anne D. Apperson Flint, while the Butte county and San Luis Obispo ranches are a part of the residuary estate which goes to her son. The larger bequests, left to the collateral members of her family, are as follows: $50,000 in trust to her brother, Elbert Clark Apperson. $50,000 in trust to her brother's wife, Mrs. Elizabeth S. Apperson. $50,000 to her nephew, Randolph W. Apperson, who is to receive the $100,000 left in trust to his parents at the time of their death. $250,000 to her niece, Mrs. Anne D. Apperson Flint, ( wife to Joseph Marshall Flint ) $100,000 to her cousin, Edward H. Clark. $25,000 to her cousin, Richard A. Clark. The University of California will receive $60,000 in trust by Mrs. Hearst's will, the proceeds to be used to maintain the scholarships for which Mrs. Hearst had contributed $2400 a year during her life. The university also receives her art collections. The bequests, of $500,000 for an anthropological museum at the university, as well as that of $100,000 for the University Department of Mines, are eliminated in the codicil. It is explained that Mrs. Hearst had made a like contribution for the mining building during her life. Mrs. Hearst's large donations to various charities during her life are said to have taken the place of legacies to charity which would otherwise I have been placed in the will. The value of the estate is said to be between $5,000,000 and $10,000,---000, the exact worth of several of the larger real estate holdings being difficult to determine at this time. The petition for probate merely says that the value of the estate is over $1,000,000. The original will was written in 1911, entirely in Mrs. Hearst's own handwriting, although It was drawn in careful legal phrases by her attorneys. The first codicil, written in 1917, eliminates -many of the smaller bequests and reduces the amount of several others. It is explained that Mrs. Hearst felt at that time that the value of her estate was less than it had been. A codicil written in June of last year merely corrects an error in one of the paragraphs of the original will. The executors named by Mrs. Hearst are William Randolph Hearst, Edward H. Clark and William A. Ma;ee, the last taking the place of the ate Fred G. Sanborn, who was originally named. The witnesses of the original will are Helen P. (Mrs. Fred G.) Sanborn, W. B. Cravath and Charles S. Wheeler. To friends and old servants bequests of from $1000 to $5000 were made by Mrs. Hearst as follows: Kate McLaughlin of Berkeley, $5000. Eliza Teal of San Jose, $2000. Mary Hooper of Washington, D. C, $2000. Amalle Bachrodt, $2000. Marie Bernhart, $3000. Thomas Ryan, $1000. Alice Reese, $1000. Josephine R. Egan, $3000. Some of these bequests were In larger amounts In the original will. In the codicil there are added the following bequests: Mrs. Adeel Brooks, $5000. Margaret B. Clark, $5000. Paula Hlnzleraan, $2000. Joseph Martin, $2500. Mrs. Hearst makes specific gifts to her son, William Randolph Hearst, of several family portraits and heirlooms, and in a separate bequest leaves to him the great Mexican property known as the Babricora Development Company.
