There were some notable omissions from the last will and testament of the late Strom Thurmond, filed Monday in Aiken County Probate Court:

• Thurmond’s two sons — Neither Strom Thurmond Jr. nor Paul Thurmond received a specific cash bequest. However, one provision of the will indicates they will split equally whatever remains in the estate — after bequests are made — with their sister, Julie Thurmond Whitmer. The three children also might have received distributions before their father died.

• Tom Moss — The first black aide to work for a Southern U.S. senator was not named in his former employer’s will. One of Thurmond’s longest-tenured staffers, Moss served from 1970 until Thurmond retired earlier this year. His appointment has long been considered important for its place in the evolution of racial politics. Thurmond devotees also point to it as evidence Thurmond had begun to cast off his long-held segregationist beliefs. Moss declined to comment Monday night.

Specifics on past and current assets — A petition filed with the will noted that none of Thurmond’s assets was in real estate. No details were given on assets Thurmond gave away during his life, or how much he might have put into trusts.
