There is a Will for Andrew Goldy - dated 6/20/1898 and signed with an "x."

He left everything to "Ralph Goldy, Lawrence, Chauncey, W. Garrett & Fred Goldy, children of my Esteemed brother Hepburn Goldy. (The word that's missing looks like "within," but the name Hepburn Goldy is not mentioned anywhere in the Will.

Executor of the will: Thomas D. Noom

Samuel Goldy - 8/22/1897 - signed 8/17/1895.

Wanted interred in Wildwood Cemetery.
Left most everything to his two sons, Stewart E. and John Wesley Goldy, including his farm in Old Lycoming Township, where Samuel was living.

He directed them to pay money to their sister, Mira Snyder, and mortgage the farm if need be, to do so. He also left money to provide board, clothing and lodging for his son Albert Preston Goldy, and to be paid to him or his guardian for his natural life. (I'm assuming Albert was either mentally deficient, or handicapped in some way).

He named his "esteemed brother Hepburn" as Guardian of Albert, and also as sole executor to his Will.

It was filed July 5, 1898 and Letters were issued July 9, 1898.
