Miss Fannie Anderson has, through her
attorneys, Messrs. j. G. Gray aud Lorenz,
Danford, entered suit against the estate Of
the late Dr.. I. Werlich. Her bill for
services amounting to $4,000 was pre-
scented to tbs administrators Of the estate
aud by them refused, leaving the courts as
the only recourse. This case is rather
peculiar one. Mrs. Anderson is niece of
of the lately deceased Doctor, and some
thing like twenty years ago came to live
with him. She has during these twenty
years and up to the time OF his
death, acted in the capacity Of
housekeeper, drug clerk and nurse, in
turn, and whenever called upon to do 80.
That the Doctor appreciated her worth,
and intended 10 reward her literally, is
shown by the illegal will which he made
and wrote in one of his account books.
In this will he left to her all Of his estate,
except about $4,000, which he willed to
the NJ. Z. Church, missionary society
and brother. His will, of
course, being illegal, and
entirely void, the administrators must set
tie it all in accordance with law, and the
Doctors nurse and faithful servant, Mrs.
Anderson, gets nothing, except pay for her
services, and che must sue for that. The
