Inventory of the George W. Pickett Papers 1899-1907 (bulk: 1905-1907)

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/tamucush/00127/00127-P.html

George W. Pickett was born 12 January 1835, most probably near Junction City or Eugene, Oregon. Based on those persons mentioned in bequests in his (22 April 1902), it appears that he did not have a wife or children. Pickett died 22 November 1902 in Eugene Oregon. Pickett was probably buried in the Eugene, Oregon Masonic Cemetery. The bulk of the George W. Pickett Papers (1899-1907) are typed legal documents concerning the contestation (1904-1905) of George W. Pickett's by Mrs. Katie White (who was apparently William G. Pickett's only living child, and the niece of George W. Pickett) et al., against Mrs. Agnes C. Joyce (who was the sister of both William G. and George W. Pickett) et al. A professionally printed legal opinion from the Supreme Court of Oregon, and several handwritten, undated documents are also present, as well as a few miscellaneous items, including an Elks Lodge No. 357 (Eugene, Ore.) membership card for George W. Pickett, a photograph of George W. Pickett's grave, and two cards containing funeral announcements, one for William G. Pickett, the other for George W. Pickett. One item found with the papers, an issue of the newsletter from McAllen, Tex., dated 1927, is probably unconnected with George W. Pickett.It was not until 1904 that a legal struggle ensued over the distribution of George W. Pickett's estate, which included cash and a valuable piece of real estate in downtown Eugene, Oregon, not mentioned in the will or inventories. Only after the court appeals have been settled does mention of this parcel of land surface, when it is reported to garner at sale $20,000, which goes to Agnes C. Joyce. The sale is handled by her son, J. D. Chenowith, a banker, S. B. Eakin, who witnessed George W. Pickett's will, and an attorney, George B. Dorris, who signed the will for George W. Pickett, also acted as administrators of the George W. Pickett estate. After the court appeals were settled in favor of Agnes C. Joyce, it appears that another one of the heirs, W. H. Hoffman, was also interested in the same piece of real estate, and acted as agent for its sale. Last Will and Testament Last Will and Testament Class Clatter

George W. Pickett was born 12 January 1835, most probably near Junction City or Eugene, Oregon .
