Total amount of Property 242 pound   Funeral Expenses 12 pound Estimated expenses attending administration 10 pound Total Deductions 22 pound   Net Value of Estate 220 pound

1900:  The Advertiser [Adelaide, SA:1889-1931 16 May 1900, page 4 Family Notices as well as The Express & Telegraph [Adelaide, SA:1867-1922]  16 May 1900 page2 Family Notices. and the Chronicle [Adelaide, SA:1895-1954] 19 May 1900, page 10 Family Notices:  

"WIETH- in loving memory of Johanne Louise WIETH, died May 16 1899.  Wearied of life's long journey. Of battles with pain and strife; Gone from his world of sorrow To a home of eternal life. - Inserted by her loving daughter, Martha"

Authors Note:  Hermine Caroline Henriette SCHUETZ [unable to find SAGHS birth] is the eldest daughter of the 2nd marriage of Johanne Pauline WIETH b1849 in Prussia, who was only 6 years old on the La Rochelle with her parents WIETH & LUBASCH.

From the Succession Statements it is clear that Johanne Luise was leaving her Estate to be divided equally between her 3 daughters & 1 son who were to receive a quarter each of the estate, 55 pound each.  As Martha was the sibling who remained in the family home with her husband [married 1882, so 7 years], it seems that her share ended up being the land worth 200 pound, perhaps Martha paid her siblings out of her share of the estate, which would have been a total debt of 165 pound, or 55 pound to each of her 3 siblings.
