WHARTENBY’S LARGE FORTUNE. Mrs. Penuel McClure, Whartemby’s. Daughter, to Contest the Will. [S. F.Examiner.]. * On November 1,1890, William Whartenby, a California pioneer and mine owner of Nevada county, who long lived at the corner of Franklin and Jackson streets, made a will in Philadelphia, where he was visiting, and a little later he died. He left an estate here and in Philadelphia valued at $250,000, most of it consisting of’ houses and_lots-in this.city. By the terms of the will he bequeathed to-his daughter, Hannah W. McClure, wife of Penuel McClure, who lived at the Pleasanton Hotel, $50,000. To one son of Mrs. -McClure; James Whartenby McClure, he bequeathed 4 . $25,000, and to Mrs. Mo(‘lure’s other sony}: William Seward McClure, $20,000. This total of $95,000 was all he gave to his immediate heirs. The.remainder’he bewho received bequests was Mrs. Albania Whartenby, widow:of the late James Whartenby, the millionaire of this city, and her, daughter, Miss A. M, Whartenby, who arrived bere a few days ago and are now at the Palace Hotel. They were given $20,000 each. On their arrival here it -was stated that they have been making a tour of the world and merely wanted to see San. Francisco again before returning. to Philadelphia, which is their home. Later it developed that they came to defeat, if possible, a contest of William Whartenby’s will. This contest has already been begun in Philadelphia, avhere some of the property is, and the fight is to be continued here, Z Mrs. McClure and her two sons are the contestants. They claim that Mr. Whar__tonby was not altogether possageed of his . ° faculties when he made the . Thus, they claim, they have been kept out of “what is properly their own. : The two brothers, William and James among: the best known of California pioneers. ‘Both early became possessed of fortuges, but James was the more thrifty, and» when he died his estate was estimated at considerably over $1,000,000. He owned a large amount of valuable improved city property. .Easton & Eldridge at one auction sale disposed of over $400,000 worth. The sales o: some ofthe particular properties were uot confirmed, and the widow and daughter, now hhere in connection with the other estate, -yet-possess them. Among these properties is.an improved lot at the southwest corner of Polk and Turk streets which sold for $96,350. Another lot, at the southeast corat $47,000. When it became known that-Mrs. Albania Wharte:.by and her daughter had arrived ‘here, there was~arumor--that they were about to contest the will. This was quickly shown to be anerror. There wag,no reason, why they should do so, and their attorney Sydney V. Smith, said that they would not, and that he considered the will a fair one. He stated, however, that the contest had already began in Philadelphia. Mrs. McClure cannot understand why Mrs. Whartenby and her daughter should be beneficiaries of her father’s will. The claim of undue influence is also put forth regarding the other beneficiaries, most of -whomh live in Philadelphia, and who, by the will, would receive from-$10,000 to $20,000 -each. Mrs. Whartenby, when seen yesterday, -would*say nothing about the forthcoming contest, but it is stated che case will come .up in the courts in the next few days, in. connection with the probating of the will. of William Whartenby. Noone, except Attorney Sydney Smith, appears to have known until yesterday that the contest over the fortune of the old Californian bad been begun in Philadelphia.
