The Catholic Church of Freehold to Get About $1,000

Only two wills were probated at Freehold last week. One was the will of Miss Catherine Deeriag, the peculiar woman who died about two weeks ago. She ordered that a grave and headstone, not to cost above $40, be paid for out of her estate, and that the rest of her property should go to the St. Rose of Lima Catholic church of Freehold. The church will thus get about $1,000. The will was made a day or two before her death and was witnessed by Andrew Lyons and Samuel A. Lockwood. Frederick Parker and Michael Ford were appointed executors.
