MRS. HECK
MARKING  90TH  ANNIVERSARY
AT  HER  HOME  TODAY
----------
          Mrs. Emma E. Heck is observing her 90th birthday at her home near Norristown today.
          Mrs. Heck, who is in good health for her age and does her own house work, planned no special event for the occasion.  It’s just another birthday for her.
          Born in Illinois, Mrs. Heck came to Indiana with her parents 85 years ago and has resided in the Norristown community for the past 57 years.  She was a member of the old Norristown Methodist church, which now is the Norristown Community church.  Her first husband,  James C. Miller  died in 1899 and her second,  Marion Heck  in 1921.  Helping her to celebrate today is her son,  Elihu Miller, who lives with her.  Her only other close relative is a brother,  Dr. E. C. Miller, of Hope.

IN  SUIT  TO  CONTEST  WILL

Chester C. Heck, Plaintiff in Case,
Receives Nothing By Courts Ruling.
----------
          An agreement reached today in the Shelby circuit court resulted in a finding for the defendants in the complaint of  Chester C. Heck  against  Anna Belle McKay  and others to contest the will of the late  Jasper N. Heck, involving an estate of $35,000.  The plaintiff, grandson of the deceased, charged that the will was executed while his grandfather was influenced by the defendants in the case.
          The court's finding in the suit awarded nothing to the plaintiff and ruled that the costs of the case must be paid by the estate.  The case was set for trial today and was filed one year ago, on Feb. 19, 1924.
          By the terms of the will the estate was divided into three equal shares, one to  Mrs. Anna Bell McKay,  a daughter, another to  Miss Ida M. Heck,  another daughter and the third to be divided  equally among four grandchildren, including the plaintiff,  Eunice McKay,  Mable Thornburg  and  Lois Keeling.
          That the late Jasper N. Heck was of unsound mind before his death and was not capable of executing a will was the allegation [the article continues but my copy stops here - pmf]
