Today Philip Rourke is busy attending to details in settling the estate of his aunt and foster mother, Mrs. Mary Spiegel, who has bequeathed him $65,000, a like amount going to his brother, Patrick Rourke, of San Francisco.

Mrs. Spiegel died last week at the age 84 years here. She came to San Rafael about a year ago with her nephew, Philip, clerk in the San Francisco post office, to make her home.
