                      Beckley Plat                                                    
          4/11/68     Obtained $4,250 mortgage on Lot 3 on Michael                    
                      Beckley Plat                                                    
          10/19/70    Obtained $564 mortgage on Lots 175, 176, 178 & 179              
                      in Prospect Place                                               
          9/24/71     Sold Lots 174, 175, 176, 177, 178 & 179 in Prospect             
                      Place for $10,000                                               

          The record does not reflect when or for how much Edward and Mary            
          acquired interests in Lots 175 and 176 in Prospect Place, or what           
          happened to Lot 3 on Michael Beckley Plat.  The mortgage obtained           
          on October 19, 1970, was released on November 1, 1971.  The                 
          mortgage obtained on April 11, 1968, was released on February 10,           
          1976.                                                                       
               Mary died on July 21, 1970.  Following Mary’s death, Edward            
          sold his home in the Hagerstown area.17  He stayed with Katherine           
          for a period of time, and then moved to New York where he lived             
          first with Chuck and then with his brother’s widow, Bolita.                 
          Edward’s children did not know whether Edward and Bolita                    
          subsequently married in the gypsy custom or merely lived                    
          together.                                                                   


               17  It is not clear whether that home was located on Lots              
          174, 175, 176, 177, 178, and 179 in Prospect Place, which Edward            
          sold on Sept. 24, 1971.  Although it is not clear from the                  
          record, Edward may have sold his home through the use of a land             
          contract.  Joe testified that, following Edward’s death, Jack               
          began receiving the payments on a land contract Edward had                  
          entered into sometime before his death.
