property, she afterward found a certificate of deposit issued by the
German American Savings Bank to said decedent, and which was owned by
her at the time of her death, amounting with interest to $113.66, and
also a note of Chris Winnemore for $199.00, making a total estate of
$312.66, from which sum she has paid the following claims owing by said
decedent, which were principally for medical services, funeral expenses
and costs of said estate, as follows to-wit:

J. Whittaker for labor, $1.00
Rev. D.R. McCorkle, funeral service, $1.00
Dr. Beveridge, medical service, $9.00

Wherefore, she prays that an order be made setting a day for the hearing

of such final hearing, and the filing of receipts in full from all the
heirs interested in said estate, this report be approved and she be
discharged.
