Executors of the estate of the late Mrs. Gertrude Dolan Anfenger, who died here in 1958, have selected a Jewish orphanage for boys in Yad Eliyahu, Israel, to receive a one-third share of her estate. The share is valued at $130,000.

Mrs. Anfenger, a Catholic, directed that one-third of her estate be donated to a Jewish orphanage principally for boys, and another third toward a Catholic orphanage for girls.

The Yad Eliyahu home is maintained by the “1939 Club, “a fraternal organization of Polish Jews who came here as refugees from the Nazis. The club has voted to re-name the orphanage the Gertrude Dolan and Harold Louis Anfenger Home.
