Description

John Evans bequeathed $800 to the Magdalen Society in his will. As a stipulation, he wished the money be used by the Society to buy property on 620 South Fourth Street and 621 Leithgow Street. The Society received income from renting out the properties. The documents pertaining to the White-Williams Foundation detail the passing of a resolution permitting the sale of those properties.
