who died about four years ago, were
active in the "uplift" movement. Both
were strong spiritualists and Christian
Scientists.
After Mrs. Roots death, Root made
joint deed OF his property here to
Jared Snyder and the latter's wife and
daughter, the consideration being that
they were to occupy the home with
him and care for him. Root became
dissatisfied, said the spirit of his dead
