Box 3: Mixed / Estates management, 1865 - 1934

This series contains the account books that Mack generated as administrator for a large number of estates. The best known of the estates he managed was that of Leonard Rowland. This wealthy and eccentric bachelor gave Eugene Mack Power of Attorney after he became blind. At his death in 1909 he left about $30,000 in trust, for the benefit of poor children of Oakland County. Nephews and nieces challenged the will in a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court of Michigan. Eugene Mack acted as Executor of the Estate until 1934, when he too became blind. Material on the Rowland estate is found especially in box 3.
