There may or may not have been a will but it appears that John G. Olden was named administrator of his estate on 28 Jul 1880 and the other two gentlemen posted a surety bond for Mr, Olden in the event he failed to perform his duties. On 9 Nov 1880, an inventory of Mr. Faw's estate was filed with an appraisal performed by the three gentlemen named and a bill of sale for the inventory was submitted and a final accounting made.
