What follows on the next few pages is the Probate Records and Will of Pulaski Green. (Apparently he did not spell his last name with an "e".) He died of Tuberculosis in July of 1959. It took nearly 18 months to settle his estate, before Anne Eliza and the children would leave for Illinois. I doubt that the children remembered anything of the trip.

While reading and transcribing the inventory, all I could think of was how fun it must have been for children to live on this ranch. I have no idea what the name of the place would have been.
