William H. Pearce of Long Branch left Catherine Cline enough property to support her during her life time or as long as she remains unmarried. This legacy was for services rendered by her. All the rest of the property, and what was bequeathed to her, but was not spent at the time of her death, goes to his children. The will was made July 9th, 1898. W. S. B. Parker was made executor.
