ATTENTION: John Hana
IN RE: Victoria P. Bennington Estate
· Dear Mr. Hana:
Please be advised that in the Petition sur Audit on the second
Page of the same following the balance for distribution, $64,736.69, there
is an asterisk and a sheet attached which indicates the following:
These items should not have been listed since there would be
po loss to William P. Bennington who is taking his share of the stocks
above in kind, and this should not be calculated in arriving at a balance
due in the account. This loss, therefore, should be disregarded.
For informational purposes it is my understanding that there
is due to be distributed to the five named persons in the audit petition,
the distributive share in cash of $5,859.86, or a total of $29,299.30.
There has been distributed to each of these persons a portion of their
distributive share totaling $9,147.02 and, in addition, there has been
distributed to William P. Bennington $4,727.28. If you total the amount
to be distributed to the five heirs an~the cash distributed to Mr. Benning-
ton, you come to a total of $34,026.58, and substracting this amount from
the balance for distribution, $64,736.69, there leaves, to be accounted for,
the sum of $30,710.11.
The items then to be taken into account would be the one-half
share in kind to Mr. Bennington, the household furnishings in the amount
of $100, the bequest to the Horn Lutheran Cemetery Association in the amount
of $500, the cash in the amount of $5,241.60, and this amount should total
$30,710.11. Hopefully, this will then permit a finalization of the audit
and it is my understanding that, since there may be an overpayment in the
inheritance tax, the Court will direct the attorney for the Estate to seek
re-payment of the same.

SUPPLEMENTAL AND EXPLANATORY MATERIAL
TO ACCOMPANY AUDIT PETITION OF
VICTORIA P. BENNINGTON,
DECEASED.
Notarized December 3, 1969
During the course of the administration of the Estate the
stock in the Melville Shoe Corporation split 2 for 1, so that in-
stead of 300 shares there were 600 shares. During the course of
the administration of the Estate an agreement was reached, for-
malized by a Court Order, in which William H. Bennington was to
receive one-half (1/2) of the total Estate. Mr. Bennington has,
therefore, taken his share of the Melville Shoe Corporation in
the amount of 300 shares, in kind.
The other parties interested in the proceeding are as follows:
Dora Piper Dunn, now Clay
James Piper
Reed Piper
Valerie Piper
Relda Piper
These people are to take their share in cash and upon the
share of the 300 shares of the Melville Shoe Corporation the dis-
tribution was made in the year 1969 to these people in the fol-
lowing amounts:
Dora Piper Dunn Clay
James Piper
Reed Piper
Valerie Piper
John P. Liekar, Esq., Guardian
Ad Litem for Relda Piper
The amounts distributed above are to be charged against the
distribution proposed in the original audit and this amount shoul
be deducted from the cash distribution proposed therein.

We have your letter of January 30, 1968 requesting
authorization to correct the appraisement filed in the estate
of the above named decedent, since the bank had reported the
wrong balance to the checking account listed on Schedule rrB".
In order to give further consideration, it is necessary
that we have a letter from the bank reflecting their error in
reporting the account in question.
Upon receipt of the aforementioned letter, we will be
in a position to advise you further.

Dear Mr. Chaney:
Re: Estate of Victoria. P. Bennington
File No. 9464-Q33
County of Washington
Thank you for your letter of February 8, 1968, which is
in further reference to the request set forth in your letter of
January 30, 1968, to correct the balance of a. joint checking account
in Mellon National Bank and Trust Company of Washington, Pennsylvania.
In reviewing the bank statement which you have presented
in support of the requested change, we note it is dated December
4, 1967, and reflects the balance on hand as of November 27. Since
this decedent died on July 28, 1967, the statement, dated December
4, 1967, is not proper evidence of the amount in the account as
of the date of Victoria. P. Bennington's death.
In order to authorize ~ corrections to this record, we
again request that you obtain a letter from the bank showfDg the
exact balance on hand as of July 28, 1967. With such a letter, we
shall be in a position to determine if, in fact, a. correction is
in order.
