Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, February 23, 1916 P.4 ******** WILL NOT PROPERLY EXECUTED; COURT REFUSES PROBATION Witnesses to Will of Joseph Urbanek, Two Creeks, Failed to comply with Provisions of Law-Daughter Objects On the grounds that the document had not been properly executed, the witnesses having failed to sign in the presence of each other as required by the statutes, a paper purporting to be the last will of the late Joseph Urbanek, of West Two Creeks, was today rejected by Judge Chloupek in probate court when objections to the will were filed by Mrs. Shedivy, of Two Rivers, a daughter. Under the law two witnesses to a will must sign the document in the presence of each other and it was established that this had not been required in drawing of the Urbanek will. The will was drawn in 1915 and included a legacy of $100 to Mrs. Shedivy but this provision had been marked out by pen in the will. The testament left the estate, said to be valued at $4,000 or more to sons of the decedent who were instructed to pay certain sums to other heirs. Mrs. Shedivy questioned the will and filed a protest to probate and the court upheld her. With the will ruled out the estate will be administered by the court and will be to the heirs in equal division. Mr. Urbanek was well known and for years conducted a hotel at Two Creeks.
