MRS. A. S. CARHART DIES
Mrs. Marion Brookman Carhart of 3 East Ninety-fifth street, Manhattan, who died on Monday at the home of her mother, Mrs. Henry D. Brookman, in Manhattan, was formerly a prominent society girl of Brooklyn. As Miss Marion Brookman, living with her parents on Remson street, she and her sister were belles of the Heights twenty-five years ago. She married Amory Sibley Carhart, a man of large means and big financial interests, about twenty years ago, and since that time they had lived in Manhattan, where Mr. Carhrt died in 1912. Mr. Carhart and his wife were formerly social leaders in Brooklyn. Mr. Carhart was the son of George B. Carhart, one of the founders of the New York Cotton Exchange, and at one time president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, and the Bank of the Republic. The Carharts had a handsome and spacious "river" residence on Columbia Heights and the Brookmans owned a house in Remson street that for years was one of the social centers of the Heights, and the Brookman girls were leaders of the younger set, while Mr. Carhart was for nearly twenty years practically the "arbiter" of the Heights social life. The wedding of Mr. Carhart and Miss Brookman was one of the society events of Brooklyn. Until the time of Mr. Carhart's death, both he and his wife were well known figures in society in Manhattan. Mrs. Carhart's funeral services were held yesterday in St. Bartholomew's P. E. Church, Madison avenue and Forty-fourth street, Manhattan.

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF MARION BROOKMAN CARHART.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I, Marion Brookman Carhart, of Tuxedo, in the County of Orange and State of New York, do make, publish and declare this my last Will and Testament, namely:-
FIRST: I bequeath to my children, or such of them as shall survive me, all my furniture, plate, china, glass, jewelry, apparel and other articles of merely household or personal use or ornament, and likewise any horses, carriages and automobiles which I may leave, and I authorize my Executors to deliver the property embraced in this First Article of my Will to my said children upon their individual receipts without the intervention of any guardian or trustee.
SECOND: I give and bequeath to my Mother, Marion Prentice Brookman, the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars.
THIRD: I give and bequeath to my Uncle, John U. Brookman, the sum of Five Thousand Dollar.
FOURTH: I give and bequeath to my nephew, John Vanneck, the sum of Five Thousand Dollars, and should he not have reached his majority at the time of my death, I direct that the same be held in trust by my Executors hereinafter named, and the survivor or survivors of them, and their or his successors, until my said nephew shall reach the age of twenty-one years, or until his death if he should die sooner, and the income meanwhile accumulated for the benefit of him or his estate.
FIFTH: I give and bequeath to William T. Reynolds, who has so long been in the employ of the Estate of my deceased Father, the late Henry D. Brookman, the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars.
SIXTH: All the rest, residue and remainder of my property, both real and personal, or whatsoever kind and wheresoever situate, of or to which I may die seized, possessed or entitled, (including therein the amount of any legacy or givt hereinbefore made which by reason of death or other causes shall lapse or fail to take effect or shall become inoperative), I give, devise and bequeath to the Executors of this my Will, or to such of them as shall qualify and act, and to the survivor or survivors of them, and their successors, in trust nevertheless, in the shares and for the purposes and upon the trusts as to each share hereinafter indicated.
My said executors are to divide my said residuary estate into as many equal shares as may be necessary to allot one equal share thereof to each of my children who shall survive me, and another equal share thereof to the issue surviving me of any of may said children who shall die before me. But the allotment for issue, (if more than one), of any of my children shall be equal only to what would be the allotment for the parent of such issue had he or she survived me and shall be subdivided so as to allot one equal subdivision thereof for each of the issue of any of my children dying before me. Each share so allotted is to be held in trust by my executors who shall invest and reinvest the same and receive and collect the income thereof and apply the net income realized therefrom to the use of the person for whom it has been allotted until he or she shall reach the age of thirty-five years. Upon any person for whom a trust share shall have been allotted reaching the age of thirty-five years, I give, devise and bequeath the principal of the trust share allotted for such person to such person absolutely and in fee.
If any person for whom a trust share shall have been so allotted shall died before reaching the age of thirty-five years, I give, devise and bequeath the principal of the trust share allotted for such person to the lawful issue of the person for whom the said share shall have been allotted who shall be living at the time of the death of such person per stirpes, or should such person leave no issue to his or her brother or sisters, if any, or, if he or she shall leave no brother or sister, to my lineal descendants who shall be living per stirpes absolutely and in fee.
SEVENTH: I direct that the legacies given in Articles First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth of this my Will shall be paid in full, and that any succession or transfer tax upon the same shall be paid out of my residuary estate.
EIGHTH: In the event of the marriage of either of my children before he or she reaches the age of thirty-five years, the trustees herein may terminate the trust for the child so marrying as to the whole or any part thereof, if in their judgment it shall seem wise and expedient so to do, and their statement as to the advisability of the termination of such trust shall be full authority to the trustees to terminate the trust or such part thereof as they may determine, or to pay over and transfer to such child the whole of the principal of such trust estate, or as much thereof as shall have been terminated. The statement of my trustees as to any such termination shall be expressed by an instrument in writing under their hands and seals duly acknowledged in the manner required by law to entitle deed to be recorded.
NINTH: In the event that I shall leave no children or issue of deceased children surviving me at the time of my death, then and in that event, I give, devise and bequeath all my property and estate, both real and personal, of whatsoever kind and wheresoever situated, of or to which I may die seized, possessed or entitled, with the exception of the property specifically bequeathed to my Uncle, John U. Brookman, my nephew, John Vanneck, and William T. Reynolds, to my Mother, Marion Prentice Brookman, or in case of the decease to my nephew John Vanneck, absolutely and in fee, and this devise and bequest is to carry with it any of said three legacies which shall have lapsed.
TENTH: I nominate, constitute and appoint my Mother, Marion Prentice Brookman, sole executrix of this my last Will and Testament, and trustee of the trusts thereunder, and in case of her death before or after me, I then appoint my friend, T. J. Oakley Rhinelander, in place of my said Mother. I likewise appoint my said Mother guardian of the persons and property of any minor children of mine who may survive me, and in case of her death either before or after mine, I appoint the said T. J. Oakley Rhinelander such guardian in place of my said Mother. I likewise appoint the said T. J. Oakley Rhinelander Executor, Trustee and Guardian in place of my said Mother, Marion Prentice Brookman, should she resign, renounce, or refuse to act. When, however, my son, Amory S. Carhart shall reach the age of twenty-one years, I desire him to qualify as one of the Executors and Trustees of this my Will, and I hereby name, consitute and appoint my said son executor and trustee accordingly. I direct that no bonds or other security shall be required of any executor, trustee or guardian named in this will under the laws of this or any other State or Country.
In making investments my trustees are not to be confined to what are known as approved securities, but may also in their discretion accept at a just valuation and retain any securities left by me, or my invest and reinvest in obligations of any State, City and County within the United States, or any Kingdom, Government or Municipality within Great Britain or the Continent of Europe, or in such other dividend or interest paying stocks or securities as to them shall seem prudent and advantageous. And my said executors and trustees are further empowered to sell and convey any interest or interests in real estate of which I shall die seized not hereinbefore specifically bequeathed, at such time or times, either at public or private sale, and in such manner and upon such terms as to them shall seem expedient and to execute proper instruments and conveyances therefor; and likewise to lease the same from year to year, or for a term or terms of years, even though any term or any renewal thereof exceed the duration of any trust created herein.
ELEVENTH: I hereby revoke any former or other Wills by me at any time heretofore made.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal at the Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York, on 26th day of June, in the year of our Lord One thousand nine hundred and Twelve.
