Mrs. Tree's Will Produced by David Edwards, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Mrs. Tree's Will" by Laura E. Richards is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around the death of Mrs. Tree, an esteemed village figure, and the subsequent reading of her will, which carries community significance and a mix of humor and tragedy. Central to the plot is Mr. Homer Hollopeter, Mrs. Tree’s cousin, who grapples with grief and the unexpected legacies left to him and other villagers, setting the stage for various relationships and dynamics within the community. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to the aftermath of Mrs. Tree's sudden death and the gathering of her friends and relatives in her parlor. Mr. Homer Hollopeter faces a minister, recounting the last moments of Mrs. Tree's life, which reveals her robust personality and strong influence in the village. As the will is read, it becomes clear that her final wishes are both poignant and whimsical, highlighting her affection for the townspeople while also instigating conflict, especially with her niece Maria Darracott Pryor, who is comically dismayed by her small inheritance. This sets a foundation for exploring themes of legacy, community, and the humorous nature of human relationships.
