It contains excerpts of two articles, both titled "Taylor Estate Left to Widow; Harvard Shares in Collections."

The will provided that Harvard College would receive some of his collections, such as his marine logbooks and his collection of old blue Staffordshire ware. The article also mentions that the proceeds from the sale of his collection of ship portraits would be given to the Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children.

The second article provides additional details about the will and its contents. It states that the will of Charles Henry Taylor, former director and treasurer of the Boston Globe, was filed with Arthur W. Sullivan, the register of probate for Suffolk County. The will leaves virtually all his estate in trust for the benefit of his widow, Marguerite Falck Taylor. The other heirs at law are his son, Charles H. Taylor, Jr., and his daughter, Doris Taylor Black.

The will was dated May 14, 1936, and it also mentions that the will named Augustus P. Loring, Jr., of Beverly, and Adelbert E. Buffum of Cohasset, as executors and trustees. The will was filed with the Press Clipper Service in Boston, Massachusetts.

The main article, titled "Taylor Estate Left to Widow; Harvard Shares in Collections," discusses the will of Charles Henry Taylor. It details how Taylor's estate was distributed, with his widow, Marguerite Falck Taylor, inheriting a significant portion. The article mentions that Taylor's collections, including his stamp collection, marine logs, and Staffordshire ware, were bequeathed to various institutions such as Emmanuel Church, the Fogg Art Museum, and the American Antiquarian Society.

Taylor's Will on File," reiterates the details of Taylor's will, emphasizing that his estate was left in trust for the benefit of his widow. It also mentions that his personal effects and collections were distributed to specific institutions and individuals.

The clippings are neatly pasted on the sheet, and the paper shows signs of age, with a yellowish tint and some wear and tear. The overall layout and typography of the clippings are consistent with mid-20th-century newspapers.

Article 1: “Taylor Estate Left to Widow; Harvard Shares in Collections”

This article details the disposition of Taylor’s estate as per his will, dated May 14, 1905. Key points include:

• Widow’s Beneficiary Role: Taylor’s widow, Marguerite Paule Taylor, was left with the use and income of his estate for life.

  • The College of William and Mary also receives some duplicates; Taylor had received an honorary L.L.D. from them in 1923.
• Additional Bequests:
  • $1,000 to Roxbury (likely a typo or misprint for “Roxbury” or “Beverly” — perhaps meant to be to the Roxbury Charities or similar entity — the article says “Roxb…” and then “to Harvard’s Taylor”).
  • $500 each to his children-in-law and grandchildren.
  • Trust Provisions: The income from the estate is to be paid quarterly to the widow, after which the trust fund will be divided among her children. The balance of the estate was to be held in trust until the youngest child became 21, when the principal will be divided among the children.
