Dearborn County Circuit Court Proceedings – Nov 1882

Proceedings of the November 1882 Term of the Dearborn County, Indiana Circuit Court appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 30 Nov 1882 – Page 3, Column 3

COURT REPORT.

The will of Jacob Gutapfel, late of Jackson township, was admitted to probate on Saturday. He gives one-half of his stock to his son George, and to his wife Maria Gutapfel gives all of his real estate and personal property. His wife is appointed executor.

Final reports were made in the following trusts: Guardianship of Lewis Rohlfing; guardianship of Emma Lawdon; estate of John H. Langfels.

Joseph M. Bossong, administrator of Samuel Weitzel, made report of sale of real estate.

The will of Peter Schneider was admitted to probate on Friday.

John Cairns, commissioner in exparte Christopher Brosch, et als, makes report of sale of real estate.

The grand jury, after a session of one week, returned three indictments, and through its foreman, Leonard Spicknall, made the following report: “We the grand jurors for the November term 1882, report to said court as follows: We have been in session six days, examined some forty witnesses, investigated seven different causes, found three bills, examined the jail and county asylum found nothing in either to condemn, but at the county asylum we found much in the management and control thereof by Thomas Duncan, the present worthy superintendent, to endorse and approve and recommend him as the right man in the right place. In the investigation of the alleged killing of Patrick Nead by John Carpenter we find that said Carpenter in the difficulty between himself and said Nead at Dover in said county, acted in self defense, and committed no violation of law, but in the prior trouble at the farm of James Murtaugh, we find him the said Carpenter guilty of assault and battery upon the person of Patrick Nead.”

On Wednesday, the 22d, Robert E. Slater, prosecuting attorney, presented his bond, which was examined and approved by the court, and Mr. Slater assumed the duties of his office.

Larry Collins, of Aurora, and Mitchel Sanks, of Guilford, are serving as court bailiffs with satisfaction to all concerned.

Jacob Shepperd, of this city, as grand jury bailiff, performed all duties of his office satisfactorily to the jury and the witnesses brought before that body.

Dearborn County Commissioners Proceedings – Sep 1882

Proceedings of the September 1882 Session of the Dearborn County, Indiana Commissioners appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 14 Sep 1882 – Page 3, Column 3

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The board passed suitable and appropriate resolutions on the death of Garret Bosse, late a member of the Board, and ordered the Commissioner’s room to be draped in mourning.

Torrence Green of Cochran, presented an application for a liquor license. A protest signed by eighty-six citizens of Cochran praying that the licensed be refused was presented. The board being fully advised in the premises, grant the application for license.

The Board ordered the purchase of land in Logan township from Eva Delacroix, John Delacroix, David W. Lake, and six others for the purpose of opening a road.

Dr. A. J. Bowers appointed physician for the poor of Sparta township, at a salary of $40 per year.

Thomas Duncan was employed as superintendent of the county asylum and farm for the period of one year, at the rate of $40 per month.

Mrs. Duncan, wife of the superintendent, appointed matron of the asylum and she is to receive $10 per month for such services.

Henry Bulthaupt presented his report and resignation as trustee for Caesar Creek township. The Board appointed Dr. J. M. Barkley to serve for the unexpired term of Mr. Bulthaupt. The appointment is a good one and meets with approval of the citizens of Caesar Creek.

Several days last week occupied in discussing and disposing of road petitions.

The Commissioners after a full and careful consideration of the question of the erection of a bridge over North Hogan Creek near Lytle Parks, and a personal examination of the proposed location of said bridge feel well satisfied of the necessity of the erection of a bridge at the place asked for by the citizens of that neighborhood and in their opinion that should be the first built by the county. As the term of office of the present Board expires before the contract could be completed they deem it, but justice it the incoming board should be left free to act on work that would necessarily have to be built under their supervision. The incoming board are recommended to look with favor on the project.

The proposition of James Walker to put lightning rods on the new county asylum was accepted, and he was given the contract to do the work.

The Board fixed the rate of tax for county purposes at 55 cents on the $100, and also levied 50 cents for each taxable poll for county purposes.

George Givan was appointed Inspector of Elections in the upper voting precinct of Manchester township.

The Board ordered that all Township Trustees made a written report to the Board at the September session, showing the number of poor in each of their respective townships who are drawing aid from the county. Such report to give the name of the person, the amount received, their age and physical condition, the number dependent on the person receiving the aid, how long they have been a county charge, and any other information that may be of benefit to the Commissioners in determining what disposition they can best make of their cases.

Claims of Catharine Lang (sole legatee of Francis Lang, deceased,) for $1,911, and claim of Ex-Treasurer Lods for $525, were allowed. Mr. Lang and Mr. Lods, while acting in the capacity of Treasurer of the county, paid and accounted to the Board of Commissioners for more money than was legally and justly due from them on account of county revenue, by reason of the fact that they were not allowed by the Board the fee of one percent, on all disbursements of school taxes by them disbursed, and the claims were allowed for this reason.
