Henry Doble Guardian
Petition to sell Real Estate at Private Sale
Filed March 18” 1895 Wray & Campbell Attys for Guardian
--------- leaves 32 ft. front on West st by 100 ft deep ----- thence North on the East line of said lot 16 feet more or less to the place of beginning, being the part of said lot heretofore conveyed by
Franklin Richey to Isaac Fleming. Said Guardian shows that all the personal property and Estate of said ward that has come to his knowledge or possession is the sum of $163.00 pension money received by said ward from the U.S. Government together with a pension of $12.00 per month since the 25th day of July 1894, and also the sum of about ___ Rents received from said real Estate.
Guardian shows that said ward has also about $11.00 worth of small articles of household goods which he has received nothing.
That said pension money and rents have all been expended in paying allowances against said trust and in the care and support of said ward.
That said ward has no personal Estate dependent upon the settlement of any Estate or the Execution of any trust and the annual rental value of wards real Estate will not exceed $70 or $75.
That said ward is of great age and very infirm, being 70 years of age or more, and an invalid and requires great care and attention and that said pension and rents are hardly sufficient for her care and support and to discharge the liens upon the real Estate aforesaid.
Guardian shows that said real Estate is a lot in Shelbyville as above described with a double house situate upon the part thereof owned by her and the strip on the south side thereof adjoining said wards part belonging to
Isaac Fleming, her son, as above described, and part of said house is owned by said ward and part thereof by said son Isaac Fleming.
That from its peculiar situation and structure it is difficult to rent the same to advantage for what the rents thereof should be and after the payment of taxes, insurance and repairs the net income therefrom is not large.
That a Mortgage has been placed upon part of said real Estate upon the interest & held therein by Isaac Fleming of $100.00 to
Peter Metzger and also a Mortgage on said wards interest of $300.00 to said Metzger and that Isaac Fleming desires to sell his interest therein and will join with this guardian in the sale and conveyance of all of said real Estate so that the same may be sold to better advantage in that way.
That it will be greatly to the interest of said ward that her said real Estate be sold and the said Mortgage liens thereon be paid.
That she now resides with her son son-in-law O. C. Garrison. Isaac Fleming in said property in said County who is caring for her and there is no good reason why her said real Estate should be held as is with the conflicting and confused interests connected therewith and said guardian required to pay interest on said Mortgage lien.
Said wards interest in said real Estate is of the probable value of one thousand dollars.
Said Guardian therefore asks an order of Court to sell said wards real Estate at private sale upon such without Notice thereof as the Court may direct and upon such terms for the payment of the purchase money in cash and deferred payments as the Court may order for the purpose of paying said Mortgage lien and for the purpose herein stated.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this the 16” day of May 1895.
