CITATION
To Elizabeth Lubbe, widow
of the above named deceased,
Frederick R. Lubbe, son of said
deceased, Charles F. Lubbe, son
of said deceased, William Lubbe
son of said deceased, Nita G.
Fuller, daughter of said deceas
ed, Dorothy E Lubbe, daughter
of said deceased, and to all per
sons interested in the above en
titled estate:
You and each of you are hereby
cited to appear before the above
named court, at the office of the
United States Commissioner and
Ex- Officio Probate Judge there
of, on the sixth day of June, 1922
at the hour of two o’clock in the
afternoon of said day, then and
there to show cause, if any there
be, why the estate of the above
named deceased Otto Lubbe,
should not be turned evor to
the widow of said deceased, and
the said estate forthwith closed.
This citation is issued under
authority of Sections 1648, 1649
and 1650 of the Compiled Laws
of Alaska, 1913, as amended by
Sections 1, 2, and 3, Chapter 12
of the Session laws of Alaska,
1919, for the reason that the wid
ow of the said deceased Otto
Lubbe: claiming under the last
mentioned law, has filed her
petition in this court praying
that the said estate, up to the
value of $4,000.00 be set aside
and apart to the use and behoof
of the widow and the minor child
ren of Otto Lubbe, deceased.
And, further, in said petition
the said widow sets forth the
fact that all expenses of funeral,
expenses of last illness, and of
administration have been prov
ided for.
From the files, inventory and
appraisement and orders nowon
file in this court it appears that
the said estate at the present
time is of a value less than
$4,200.00. At this hearing, should
there be no further assets of
said estate discovered and
brought to the attention of the
court, and no good and sufficient
reason given why the said estate
should not be forewith closed
and set apart to the said widow
and minor children, an Order
and Decree will be entered so
setting apart the said estate in
its entirety to the widow, to be
by her expended for the main
tenance of herself and any minor
child of the said deceased, as
provided by law.
