THE LIFE OF MARY BAKER EDDY

her will greatly interested the world. This was largely because her sons endeavored to have its provisions set aside. Mrs. Eddy’s will gave $10,000 to each of her four grandchildren in addition to the previous settlement with her sons; it gave bequests to her secretary, Calvin A. Frye, and her companion, Laura E. Sargent, long faithful in her service, as household stewards. It provided for the lifting of the debt of Second Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City, and the sum of $100,000 to be set aside for a trust fund to educate Christian Science practitioners. The residue was left to the Mother Church as above set forth. The will was probated in Concord, New Hampshire, January 17, 1911, by Mrs. Eddy’s executor, one of the former trustees of her estate and her cousin, General Henry M. Baker.
