KILLEN - Mary Martz - wants her share
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 7 June 1901
Reeves & Jones, attorneys for Mrs. Mary A. Killen, last Tuesday, filed suit against Jerome Marts, William Marts, Chauncey Marts and Otis Marts, her brothers, demanding damages in the sum of $4,400. The complaint alleges that the father of the plaintiff and the defendant, Samuel Marts, died in 1884, leaving an estate worth over $7,000. It is alleged that the defendants conspired to defraud the plaintiff out of her share and have thus far withheld from her the one-fifth interest in the property and the interest. On May 29 it is asserted that the demand was made on the defendants for the plaintiff’s interest in the estate and satisfaction was refused. Accordingly the suit was brought.
