LONG LEGAL BATTLE OVER ITS
OWNERSHIP.
Farmers Sons Arrayed Against Step
mother for Possession Of Fa-
thers Estate-contest Ex
tends over Ten Years.

Littleton, Mass.-The question Of
ownership of a little church pew in
the First Congregational church, seat
ing five persons, was the last obstacle
to be overcome in a contest extending
over ten years, and 1t has cost the op-
posing factions Of a once happy family
not only the loss Of much time, but
also large sums Of money.
Tucked away on the side Of one Of
the many hills that abound In this
town is the estate left by the late
Theodore c. Fletcher, comprising
about 60 acres.
The late Mr. Fletcher was held in
high esteem by all the residents Of the
town, and his example Of caring in
good shape for his farm was well fol-
lowed BY his stepson.
When he married the present Mrs.
Fletcher Mr.. Fletcher had two sons
by his first wife, Hammond and Daniel,
while Mrs. Fletcher, who was previous
to her marriage Mrs. Titcomb. had
two sons, Ora and Walter.
On the death Of Fletcher Il years
ago. an agreeable settlement Of the es
tate was made.
The estate was TO remain in the
hands of Mrs. Fletcher, while the two
sons bearing the name of Fletcher
were given a money consideration anC
rellnquished all claims. The old family
pew ia the First Congregations
church was 10 remain in the name o.
Fletcher.
The estate was valued at abou
$1,000 About ten years ago Hammond
Fletcher, so II is alleged, became dis
satisfied and. enlisting the support o
bis brother, put in the claim that the.
had not received proper treatment ii
the distribution Of the estate. A lega
fight was made to obtain possession
of part of it.
It is alleged that their claim callei
for more than the estate was valuei
at, The matter was carried from on
court TO another until II reached tn
highest tribunal The findings were al
ways for the widow. her fight beini
handled by the son, Ora Titcomb.
The estate could not, however, b
legally settled until the ownership Q
the pew had been established. Som
time ago the widow, Mrs. Fletcher
sold the pew to her son, Waiter Til
comb, for s2O and the claim was mad
by one Of the Fletchers that the pel
was worth s15O
