I occupy the premise under agreement with renter to maintain myself and daughter - he paying the taxes, I the insurance and repairs.  This agreement terminates at close of this year.  My insurance was ten dollars and repairs thirty dollars.  My husband left no will - but cash available to me 270 dollars - from which I paid funeral expenses - cemetery lot $110 - medical attendance $30.

My husband left no other personal property.
