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.

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.

Lawrenceburg Fair Awards – 1880

Awards from the Lawrenceburg, Dearborn County, Indiana Fair for 1880 appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 21 Oct 1880 – Page 4, Column 3

THE FAIR.

The inaugural meeting of the Lawrenceburgh Agricultural Association and our new racing course was in every particular successful. Unfortunately the weather operated against the Fair, but in spite of this fact the meeting ended a success. To the officers, Col. Bannister, President; Henry Fitch, Secretary; and the Board of Directory, every praise is due. The accommodations of the track and the arrangements thereof are excelled by none, and with a little more age will be the superior of any track in this part of the State.

The display and attractions outside of the speed list were fully up to the standard of any county fair. The Floral and Mechanic Halls were crowded to overflowing with fancy and staple articles competing for premiums. Several of our merchants made creditable displays of their goods. The arrangement of the two halls was in good taste, and every appointment was complete.

The Directors will go in for a Fair next year with renewed efforts, and it will be a boomer. These fairs will be of great value to the business men of this city, and should be looked on with favor by them. We regret that we cannot give the full award of premiums this week.

Below is the result in the speed rings:
