Name: Beamish Murdock Esq. In Database:

Residence: Lunenburg Location: LDS FHC Saskatoon, Sk.

Occupation: barrister Date Written: 6 April 1875

Name of Spouse: Date Filed: 11 March 1876

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 Cousins daughter: Maria Beamish – c/o Charles

3 Cousins sister in law: Miss Henrietta James

4 Housekeeper: the widow Peck

5 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.
