The accountant is surcharged at his request with $113.99 for hay, straw that sold since filing account.

He is also allowed additional credits, as follows:

The decedent's family book was also put in evidence from which, it appears, that advancements were made to certain of his children as follows:

This family book further shows, that he intended to pay in advance to his other children, to his seven children with his first wife $182.00, it being money she had inherited and given him. Four of them have in his life time received their shares of it from him. Elizabeth Heffner, William Yerger, and Amos Yerger have their shares still to receive. There do not appear to be any objections to the payment of these sums, as set out in the decedent's family book, hence distribution will be made as desired by the decedent.

No creditors appeared, nor are any exceptions filed to the account. Upon proceeding to the examination of the account, the same was found to be correct.
