Show ARCHBISHOP DIED POOR: When the will of the late Archbishop Montgomery Montgom-ery of San Francisco was filed for probate, it was shown just how modest was the estate left by the prelate. Instead of a large fortune, as manv looked look-ed for, the only property left, by Archbishop Montgomery Mont-gomery was a collection of personal property valued val-ued at $2,500. The main article in the whole modest mod-est estate was the late Archbishop's library. This collection of books, the gathering of which had been the work of his lifetime, together with what other personal effects he possesed, the Archbishop left to Archbishop Patrick Riordan. ' When Archbishop Montgomery died there was some talk of an immense private fortune, which would in all probability go to the Church. It was said that he owned much valuable improved real estate, among other sources , of income. All this has been falsified by the filing of the will, which, drawn a year ago, shows that the Archbishop had not even carefully saved what small amount he had received as a salarv. |
