Looks like he loaned some money out – in his name only – in 1871. Those loans were still outstanding at his death.

“Is there any significance to these notes?”

Impossible to say without seeing them.

“Did he own nothing worth mentioning? Nothing?”

If his wife survived him, and all their property (apart from the notes) was owned jointly, then it would have passed to her automatically at his death. It would not need to be listed on the inventory.
