.NHO OWNS FARM?
Sarah Shook ChanCery Case Attract
ing Unusual Interest

The chancery case, Sarah Shook
VS.. John Dunham, administrator, ct
al, in Circuit Curt is attracting un-
usual interest because OF the circum-
stances surrounding it. In 1909,
Sarah Rocks died leaving husband
and four children. Each child, it
was stated, had been given forty acres
or a house and lot. Previous to the
death of the mother, Mr.. Rocks had
spent all his earnings in improve
ments about the farm, which Mrs
Rocks had owned when they were
married. AS the years went by and
| they became more feeble, Mrs. Rocks
proposed to Sarah Snooks, one OF
the daughters, that the latter come
and live with them and care for them
while they lived. On condition Of
Mrs. Snooks doing as her father and
mother requested she should become
owner of the home farm. According
to the facts in the case Mrs. Snooks
came and to show their good faith
the Rocks had a deed made of the
place. Mrs. Snooks was shown the
deed it is alleged, to convince her
of the good faith of her parents
Following the filing Of the deed, il
is said that Mrs. Snooks then moved
away from the home farm and left
the old people to care for themselves
Such action on the part of the
daughter angered Mrs. Rocks, and
the old lady made the assertion that
the daughter Sarah should not have
the home farm although it was al
ready decided to her. Soon after thi:
Mrs. Rocks was taken sick and died
but before passing away she told the
children, it is said, that the farm wa:
to care for her husband.
OF course, it belonged to her child
rem, her heirs, two of whom decided
their interests to their father Tht
other two, one of whom was Saraf
( Snooks, claimed that the farm haC
been given to Mrs. Snooks and tina
, the deed was shown to her, when sh
5 came to take care of the old folks /
was a delivery of the title. So tn
child favoring Mrs. Snooks deedet
his interest to her and Mrs. Shook
filed a bill in chancery to establisI
this deed.
Just before filing the deed, the ia
ther dropped dead, which leaves tn
estate crippled, but the fathers part
0 claim they can show non-deliver
d of the title. Mrs. Shook has the bes
