Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1914-03-26

On Monday in the circuit court,
Judge O'Neill set aside the deed in the
G Sc of Carl August Won Behren and
hers VS.. his daughter-in-law, Cecilia
Won Behren, and others. Mr.. and Mrs
Won Behren had 100 acres of land and
the wife had 40 acres additional
in her name. He is about IS and she
is 81. AS age crept upon them they
found they could not care for them
selves and the son came to reside On
the old homestead. The father is
crippled with rheumatism and has
paralysis. The wife is infirm and ner
mind is not as bright as 1t once was
When the son came to the farm he
was given deed to the 100 acres With
the understanding that he was to care
for his father and mother as long as
they lived. Ia time the son, Frederick,
died and his wife and children under
| took to carry on the work. The SOC
had another farna of 300 acres and the
task Of working both farms was too
much it was claimed. It resulted in
the father and mother of the deceased
son not getting the proper care, it was
alleged. Before the son occupied the
farm, John Sheehan, son.in-law, and
wife had lived with the venerable
people and they were instrumental in
bringing the action to have the deco
set aside. The court held that as no
money had been paid when the deed
was made there was no hardship in
setting it aside and so it was done.
MRS. Fred (CeceIia) Won Behren is
to move back to the 800 acres where
the family formerly resided and Mr..
and Mis-. Sheehsn will reside with the
aged couple and care for them ice
court held that probably the daughEtI
would give better care than tt G
0aughter.in-Iaw. Is came out in court
that it was one of the saddest sfai s
ever before the Souk county tribunai.
The witnesses were:
Carl August Won Behreu, Emma
Sheehap, Henry Lodde. John Sheehaa,
Anna Bohnseck, Mary Won Behren
William Welk, Cecilia Won Behren
Margaret Won Behren, VIM. A. Meyer,
Julius WeuzeI, Charles P0pka.
Mr.. Won Behren was not abe TO
come TO Baraboo and the judge with
others took bis testimony at home.
