MISS GERTRUDE EVELYN WARD-FOX, of Bramhope Torquay, who died on March
4th, daughter of the late Major Ward-Fox, of Haddon House, Bakewell,
left estate of the gross value of £41,858, with net personalty £41,266.
Miss Ward-Fox left
£200 each to the Torbay Hospital, the Western Hospital, Torquay, and
£100 each to the Rose Hill Hospital, Torquay,
and the Church Army; and subject to pecuniary legacies to relatives and
other amounting to about £3,200, and subject to bequests of
jewelry, pictures, &c., she left a reversion, after a life interest, to
two-thirds of the residue of her property and on the failure of
certain trusts, the other third to a number of charitable institutions.
The absolute reversion would appear to amount to over £20,000, while the
reversion contingent on the failure of the trusts appears to amount to a
further £10,000.
