Bequeaths $5,000 To College for Morehouse Display
A $5,000 bequest was made to the Board of Regents of Northwest Missouri State College for a Memorial fund for Albert P. Morehouse, through the will of the late Mrs. Nannie M. Neale, who was well-known in Maryville, was the daughter of ex-governor Morehouse.
The income from the fund is to be used in the care and preservation mementos of Gov. Morehouse, which are in a museum in the library of the College.
Amoung the mementos in the museum are several articles of clothing worn by Mrs. Morehouse for her wedding to the governor in 1855. A blue beaded "wrapper" and an evening cape with a design stamped on with a $5 gold piece are both part of the trousseau worn by Mrs. Morehouse. Other articles of clothing include hand embroidered aprons, waists, skirts, mitts, linen night caps and a chemise.
Also in the collection is an old fan used by Mrs. Neale at a reception in St. Louis when Cleveland took over the presidency. A gold topped cane, presented to Gov. Morehouse by the sentators, is among the relics. The can was later presented by Mrs. Neale to Nat Sisson, who in turn presented it to the college.
When all the bequests and expenses have been paid, the remainder of the estate is to accrue to the Memorial fund for Morehouse, and the funds invested by the Board of Regents. Charles Bell, Maryville attorney, represented the Board at the hearing in the probate court in Oswego, Kansas.
Other bequests were to Leroy Neale, nephew of Mr. Neale, $5000, Chetopa free library, $1,000 for the Mr. and Mrs. A.D. Neale endowment fund to purchase books, St. Paul Episcopal church of Chetopa, $2,00 for the Mr. and Mrs. A. D.

Lothan, $250, Edna Nothan, $2,000, Nancy Neale Wester, Marshalltown, Iowa $2,000.
Mrs. Neale bequested her home and its furnishings to the late Mrs. Mary Ream, Maryville, but due to the prior death of Mrs. Ream, a codial was added to the original will and the furnishings left to relatives. The property is to be sold and added to the estate.
