Scope and content
The series consists of cause books created by the County Court of Yale holden at Vernon between 1892 and 1946. A typical entry lists the name of the deceased, the file number, and a listing of activities that took place during the process of proving the will, as well as the cost of each activity. This can include, but is not limited to, a listing of affidavits that were submitted to the court, and the date that the letters of administration were granted to the execut-or/trix. In some cases, the executor or executrix is named.
Entries in the cause book are arranged chronologically by the date of the first activity in the proceedings. Each volume is accompanied by an alphabetical index.
