On the application of Howard H. Whitten and Grace C. Whitten, the father and mother of Dean I. Whitten, a deceased soldier, letters of administration have been issued to them by Frank W. Barnes, surrogate, to enable them to receive the payment due them from the government by reason of the death of the soldier.  The deceased soldier left a will executed while he was in the service and witnessed by three of his friends who were in the military service.  The soldier and all of the witnesses were killed at the same time while in combat in Germany. The will was offered for probate last month with a statement that the petitioner was unable to produce legal evidence to establish the will and at the request of the petitioner, the surrogate made an order denying probate of the will so that an application could be made for letters of administration.  Morse and Honeywell of New Berlin appeared as attorneys for the petitioners in both proceedings.  [notation:  1945]
