BEQUEST OF KATHARINE A. MCINTIRE DECLINED
The President called to the Board's attention the situation with respect to a bequest made it
by Miss Katharine A. McIntire.
By the Sixth Paragraph of her Will, dated June 6, 1953, probated June 20, 1960, and of record
in the Clerk's Office of the Corporation Court of Charlottesville, in W. B. 8, p. 388, Miss McIntire
bequeathed to "the Bayly Museum at the University of Virginia, a sofa, pier tables, card table and
a group of miniatures." On the Will appeared a notation, dated July 9, 1958, signed by Miss
McIntire, to the effect that the miniatures had already been disposed of. Shortly before her death
on June 14, 1960, at her request, a codicil to her Will was prepared also revoking the bequest of
furniture to the Museum. However, Miss McIntire died before she could execute this codicil
The question, the President pointed out, was whether the bequest should be accepted under the
circumstances.
After discussion, upon motion duly made and seconded, the following resolution was adopted
RESOLVED, that the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia,
being desirous of complying with the known wishes of the late Miss Katharine A. McIntire, respectfully
declines the bequest contained in the Sixth Paragraph of her Will dated June 6, 1953, to
"the Bayly Museum at the University of Virginia", of a sofa, pier table and card table.
