Witnessed My Neighbor's Will
This individual witnessed the will of Barbara Haase, drawn up in Hancock County, Illinois in the early 1900s. He was a neighbor of Haase's and a cooper in his early thirties when he witnessed the will.
Chas Drout is it. The signature comes from the will. His typed name is in several other places in the probate settlement for the individual whose will he signed.
Chas Proust?
ReplyDeleteI would agree that it is Chas Proust. Chas being short for Charles.
