The Court House
Mansfield News)

A petition to set aside the will of
Aaron Lockhart, late of Bellville, has
been filed in the common pleas court.
The style of the case is Mrs Electa
Packer, Mrs. Luretta Wamsley, Alvin
Lockhart and Benjamin Lockhart VS..
William Lockhart, William Lockhart,
executor, of paper purporting to be
the last will of Aaron Lockhart, sew
eral heirs living at Trenton, Mo-, Ina
Aungst, Bellville, the unknown heirs
of Jacon Harshfield, the Disciple
church of Bellville, and r. Fl. Cockley,
executor, named in the original will,
defendants.
Mrs. Iuretta Wamsley, together
with the other plaintiffs, declare they
are nieces and nephews of Aaron Lock
hart, deceased, and aver that Aaron
Lockhart died childless on the 22nd
day of September, 1910, leaving an es-
tate in which said plaintiffs are justly
entitled to share as heirs at law in
said estate and all of the above named
defendants claim to have some inter-
tees or trustees. Plaintiff further
says that on the Is day of October,
1910, a certain paper writing purport-
ing to be the last will and testament
of Aaron Lockhart, bearing the date of
Jan. 10, 1910, was admitted to probate
in Richland county. Fetters testamen-
tary were issues by said court to the
defendant, William Lockhart, as adj
ministrator will be annexed.
Plaintiff further says that by the
terms of said will the various defen-
dants appear as legatees, save and
except r. II. Cockley, who was ap-
pointed executor under said alleged
will and afterward resigned when
William Lockhart was appointed.
Lockhart, Ina Aungst, r. II. Cockley
and the Disciple church are residents
OF the county of Richland and all ex-
cept r. H. Cockley appear as legatees.
The other legatees are non-residents.
The plaintiff ON behalf of herself and
the others declare said paper writing
is not the last will of Aaron Lock
hart and that the same may be set
aside and that plaintiffs are rightful
heirs Of Aaron Lockhart and that they
may be given proper relief. Douglass
& Robinson and j. NJ. Reed are .attor-
neys for the plaintiff.
