How did he receive them?  Delivered to the cemetery, or placed under the urn on the widow's mantel?  In either case, forget about the pieces of paper and follow the money.  You're doing a 1041 for what -- the estate?  A now-irrevocable trust?  How did the widow manage to deposit the money to her account if it belonged to the estate or trust?  Is there some other reason you are filing a 1041?  Sounds to me like IRD that goes on the widow's 1040.
