Deposition of Haj Ghulam Riza's children, 1907

Deposition of ʻAli Riza, Muhammad Husayn, Mashhadi Husayn, and Khanum Nawbar, the children of Haj Ghulam Riza Baqqal [the grocer] from Shiraz, about the ownership of a grocery store, a wood and grain trading shop, and two [illegible] shops worth one hundred and ninety-five tumans. All the properties mentioned are the mahr of Zivar Sultan, daughter of the late Karbalayi Mahdi and wife of the late Haj Ghulam Riza. The sons of Haj Ghulam Riza settled all of the mentioned shops with their mother for one man [unit of weight] of Nurah hard sugar and one hundred dinars. Khanum Nawbar should also pay thirty tumans to her mother. Additionally, an old house located in Darb Shahzadah neighborhood, near the Haj Husayn ʻAli Bazaar, has been endowed to the children of Haj Ghulam Riza, generation after generation. In the absence of any offspring, it will belong to the most learned ‘ulama’ of Shiraz.
