Rev. Ephraim Soliday Widdemer of Philadelphia, father of the late Rev. Howard T. Widdemer of Asbury Park, died a short time ago. He left some real estate and other property in this county and his will was probated at Freehold last week. The will was made shortly after the death of his son Howard. Mr. Widdemer left all his property to his daughter, Irene Widdemer Hartt, as long as she should live. At her death it is all to go to Kenneth and De Witt Widdemer, sons of Howard Widdemer. Mr. Widdemer in his will expressed the desire and intention that none of his estate should be inherited or go to Alice DeWitt Widdemer, widow of his son Howard. Mrs. Hartt is made the executrix of the will and it is specifically set forth that she is to give no bonds. The will was made in Philadelphia on March 7th, 1901, and the witnesses are residents of that city.
