- Description:
- 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.
