Section 9

Section 9. That each person, upon entering the said Home, shall make an assignment to the said trustees of all his or her personal and real estate, with power in the said trustees to collect rents, issues and profits of all his or her estate; and the said trustees and their successors shall hold said property for the following uses and purposes: first, the rents, issues and profits to be turned into the State Treasury for the common fund of the Home or Homes; second, if any inmate of the Home desires to sever his or her connection with the said Home, he or she can make application of the said trustees, and then at the end of six months, if the application is not withdrawn, the trustees shall reconvey to the said inmate the property conveyed to the trustees. If, though, the said inmate dies within the said six months, then the property is to remain the common property of the Home. After the death of any inmate, the trustees shall convert all such person's real and personal property into money, and turn the same into the State Treasury as part of the Miners' Home Fund: Provided, That one hundred and twenty-five dollars of such money or property as came through any particular inmate's estate shall be used for his or her burial, in any such manner as such inmate may have directed, or as the nearest of kin suggest in the event the deceased had not given directions.
