Dearborn County Commissioners’ Proceedings – Dec 1880

Proceedings of the December 1880 Session of the Dearborn County, Indiana Commissioners appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 16 Dec 1880 – Page 4, Column 2

COMMISSIONERS’ COURT.

The Commissioners have abated the delinquent taxes on church parsonages.

William Ritter is allowed $40 per year regular allowance.

H. H. Sutton appointed physician for the poor of Washington township at a yearly salary of $35.

The contract for the use of the Selden bookkeeping is renewed, and the county is given the perpetual right to use the same for $700.

The County Commissioners are almost buried under petitions for the opening of new and repairing of old highways.

All order was made that in no case would any compensation be allowed for medical attention rendered other than by the regular township physician, unless it was in a very desperate case. Another leak stopped.

The Commissioners have had under consideration for several years the feasibility of erecting a suitable Poor Asylum for the paupers of our county. The expense of providing for the poor under the present system has grown to be cumbersome and expensive. The Board on Tuesday took under advisement the propriety of erecting a new building on the poor farm, believing that in so doing it would be a matter of economy to the taxpayers, and the poor could be better cared for than at present. Mr. Bosse, the new Commissioner, thinks that we need a poor Asylum, but at this time it would not be economical to build. Mr. Briggs and Mr. Hoff are of a different turn of mind and think it is economy to build. Auditor Pattison was ordered to go to Floyd county and prepare a plan for a building similar to the poor building of that county. The cost of the building, if erected, will not exceed $9,000. The Board will meet in special session on January 24th for the further consideration of the subject.

Israel Crist vs. Samuel L. Yourtee and others. This is the case of the mechanic liens against the Stove Works. Judgment is given the several claimants. The defendants, Hart & Bacon, appeal to the Supreme Court.

M. A. Spooner makes final report as commissioner in case of Mary Lowe vs. Rachael B. Guard.

State on relation of Sarah Warner vs. Alfred M. Pate. Bastardy. Judgment against defendant for $600.

Hugh D. McMullen has brought suit against Ezra G. Hayes and Warren West, administrators of the estate of Joseph Hayes, for $3,500 attorney’s fees. The services were rendered in will contest.

M. H. Harding appointed administrator of the estate of W. W. Wymond, and gives bond for $16,000.

In the suit brought by John Kuhlmeier against his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wilhelmina Fensz, for board, &c., for two and a half years that she lived with him, Judge Givan decided for the defendant. He ruled that Mrs. Fensz was the guest of Kuhlmeier, and that therefore Kuhlmeier could not collect.

Kit Swales, blacksmith, and Henry Apparius, shoemaker, live neighbors in Bunkum. Some time ago Swales had his neighbor arrested for assault and battery, and Apparius had to pay about $12. Swales, encouraged by his success, sued Apparius for $1,000 damages. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

The suits of Francis Worley, administrator of Frank W. Cheek’s estate against the Travellers’ Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn., has been compromised. Cheek, it will be remembered, was drowned while bathing, about six months ago. He was insured in the above company for $6,500, and they vigorously kicked against paying. In the compromise, Cheek’s estate receives $1,600.

Thus speaketh Roe: “A transcript is being prepared in the case of The City vs. Pius Fredrick on an appeal to the Supreme Court. The case grew out of an alleged infringement by the defendant in encroaching upon the line of Main Street, and it was litigated in the Circuit Court three years, and resulted in a verdict for the defendant. The costs, amounting to about $200, have been paid by the city. The defendant, Fredrick, having died in the meantime, the widow is made co-defendant, and the chivalrous corporation makes war on the defenseless widow. The transcript will probably cost about $300, and with good prospects of the taxpayers footing the bill.”

Colonel Jacob Eggleston and Hon. John S. Matthews are two of the most conspicuous citizens of Clay Township. They live in or near Dillsboro, and are neighbors. In a neighborly way they had alternately owned a bull, and the neighborly bull had alternated between the respective dairies of the two respected neighbors. Finally, Eggleston and Matthews got mad at each other, so to speak, and the charges and countercharges were made for the efficient services of the bull. Mathews put in a claim for superior calves, and Eggleston harped upon superior milk (not the bull’s), and in this way the neighborly neighbor’s jangled before Squire Hess till at last the case was appealed to the Circuit Court, where Judge Givan rendered a decision in favor of Mathews. The judgment amounts to $1.50.

Court adjourned until Jan. 31, 1881.

Mrs. Mary Marshall and Eliza Jane Beatty, of Chesterville, filed on Tuesday their notice of contest of the will of Nelson Ketcham, who died a short time ago. Mr. Ketcham, who died a short time ago. Mr. Ketcham just before his death executed the will which is to be contested. In this will he divides his estate equally between seven of his nine children, thus cutting the remaining two off without a shilling. The contestants set forth that he was of unsound mind, and that undue influence was used.

In the great case of Joanna Nevitt vs. the administrators of the estate of David Nevitt, deceased, the jury, after being out nearly all night, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, giving her $300. The plaintiff is the widow of Wm. Nevitt, who was a son of David Nevitt. Some time after the death of her husband she went to live with her father-in-law as his housekeeper, taking with her three children, each of whom was old enough to earn a living. The plaintiff remained there for about five years, and filed her claim for $1,500 for services. The claim was stoutly resisted upon the ground that plaintiff had been fully compensated, and that she lived with the defendant as a member of the family, without contract, expressed or implied, for compensation.

An interesting suit was begun before Judge Givan on Monday morning, in which Judge Tullis, nephew of the noted Jerry Tullis, and Louis, Wm. H. and Lena Teake, all children by former husbands of the late old mother Veit, of Dillsboro, are the plaintiffs, and Louis Veit, husband of the late mother Veit, is the defendant. It appears that when Mrs. Veit purchased a lot of property in and about Dillsboro, valued at about $12,000, she had it deeded to her and her husband jointly. The plaintiffs allege that this property was purchased with the money obtained by selling an estate which their father left them, and that now because the property in question was jointly deeded contrary to the wishes of their mother they are now to be swindled out of their patrimony. The John Tufts who makes a claim in the case is the same who claims $10,000 worth of the Jerry Tullis estate, and who for the same is making a fight.
