Notes: At the time the will was written it sounds like his son, Solomon is not at home.
My reasoning is that there is a provision in the will that if Solomon does not come home
his four other sons is to have Solomon’s share of what was bequeathed to him.

Name of Spouse:
Name of Executor (s): Charles Beamish
Names of Witnesses: Joseph Bell and William Nowe
Children and/or other heirs listed:
1
Cousin: Charles Beamish of 101 Queen St., Halifax
2

Cousin: Thomas B. Akins D.C.L.
6
Charles W.H.N. Kaulbach - eldest s/o Senator Henry A.N. Kaulback
7
Eunice Sophia Kaulbach – w/o Hon. Henry A.N. Kaulbach of Lunenburg – the
executor, Charles Beamish is to invest $4500 and pay the interest to Eunice for her
own personal use without the control or interference from her present husband of
future husbands. At her death the money ($4500) is to divided in equal shares
among her children (not named).
Notes: a 2nd will written on the 15th November 1875 was admitted into evidence at the
probate court on the 19th February 1876. Listed in the will is his cousin: Thomas B.
Akins, Charles W.H.H. Kaulbach (eldest s/o Senator Kaulbach), the Hon. H.N.H.
Kaulbach of Lunenburg and Eunice Sophia Kaulbach. She is to receive the remainder of
household furniture, goods and chattel including a piano. She is also to receive $5000
with the same conditions as above.
The children of Eunice is listed in this 2nd will, they are: Charles, Edw’d, Mary and
Rupert – again the are to inherit the remaining money upon her death. In this 2nd will they
also inherit the “rest and residue of Beamish’s estate (real and personal) and is to be
divided equally between them. The executor for this will is H.A.N. Kaulback, William H.
Owen – Barrister at law of Bridgewater. Witnesses: Edward H. Solomon and James H.
Wentzel.
This 2nd will was being contested and it looked like it went all the way to the Supreme
Court of Canada – I did not get the final date or the final decree for this will or who was
contesting the will. The main reason the 2nd will was contested was because at the time
the 2nd will was written, Beamish Murdock was not of sound mind. There was so many
court papers, it almost took most of the microfilm reel. Of what few papers I did read – it
is very interesting reading.
