    BIOGRAPHY: Letter 1918: I have nothing much to leave to my children or
    grandchildren.
    I have given my Topaz and diamond ring to Margaret L. Tobey, and my plain
    gold ring (my engagement ring that Royal gave me Oct. 1867)- I give to my
    grandson Royal George Tobey, and my solitaire diamond to Mary G. Tobey my
    daughter in law, as she had the trouble of Royals sickness and death and will
    probably have me on her hands to take care of, my watch to be given to Helen F.
    Tobey, any other jewelry I have to be divided among the children and
    grandchildren as best they can, if there is any money left to be divided
    between the two boys Walter and Charles my sons, my insurance will or must pay
    for my funeral expenses, I hope everything will be done at the last pleasantly
    and with kind feelings toward me, and between the children. Sorry I haven't
    more to leave you all, but we have always tried to do what we thought was for
    the best and what we could for you all as we went along. I hope I will not out
    live my usefulness, and be a burden on any one very long. my prayer is that
    you may Boys, may live to see your children happily settled in life, before
    you are called, as we did. good-bye from your devoted mother, who hath done
    what she could.
