Wilhelm's will/probate record & Henry receives deed

As mentioned previously, William Landau's 1892 will bequeathed farms to his eldest three sons, and the six daughters and minor son received $2000 each.  (The younger daughters were to receive the money when they turned 20.  Christopher, who was 14 when his father died, was to receive his $2000 when he turned 21.)

The land came with mortgages to be paid off by the sons who inherited the land. Among the 50+ pages of probate records is this page that indicates that Henry Landau was prepared to pay up and receive the deed to the land from the estate.

In the probate documents the name is "William" Landau, but he signed his will "Wilhelm."
