![["Congressman Page Belcher received a letter from Osage Indians regarding the probate of the will of Edmund Kennedy Kenworthy, a deceased Osage Indian, and the distribution of his estate. The Indian Agency had ruled out the original will that would have kept the lands for Kenworthy's children, and a hearing was scheduled for December 11, 1952. Belcher requested the Department of the Interior to investigate the matter and potentially postpone the hearing for a thorough review. He also informed his attorney, George B. Schwabe, Jr., about the situation and requested his assistance. Belcher received a response from the Department of the Interior explaining the appeal process for decisions adverse to the interests of the Osage Indians."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/83rd%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_2_12_35A_0000-Interior%20Department%20-%20Departmental.%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs.,%201953-1954/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_2_12_35a_0021_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding the Probate of Mr. Kenworthy's Will")
