APPROVAL ASKED TO SETTLE CLAIM
A hearing on an application by Mrs. Alice Windsor Cyrus, of Bridgeport, for authority to settle a claim resulting from a traffic accident in which her late father-in-law, Karl O. Cyrus, was injured five months prior to his death will take place at 10 a.m. June 30 before Probate Judge John F. Flanagan.
As executrix, Mrs. Cyrus is seeking permission to accept settlement of $7,500 in the claim of the estate against Paul J. Pellegrino and John Vilella, owner and driver, respectively, of a truck which struck Karl Cyrus on Sherwood avenue last Nov. 8.
Mr. Cyrus, retired Bridgeport druggist, died last April 7. Under the terms of his will, his entire estate was left to his daughter-in-law, widow of his son Charles W. Cyrus, who died in 1951.
According to Morton Weiss, counsel for the estate, it consists principally of a building at the northeast corner of. Fairfield avenue and Courtland street, where Kary Cyrus had conducted a pharmacy 30 years.
In his will, signed March 9, 1949, Mr. Cyrus bequeathed his estate to his son Charles, with the provision that if his son predeceased him, the estate would go to Charles' widow.
