Objection to the sale by the heirs of George E. SMITH, 
with F. Marion RIDDLEMOSER acting for himself and as 
agent for the other heirs.  At present, the Will of 
George E. SMITH is being contested.  He claimed he 
and his attorneys visited the store of John L. MICHAEL 
(husband of Mary C. MICHAEL) to pay off the mortgage, 
but was not allowed to see Mrs. MICHAEL. They then 
asked for an assignment of the mortgage upon this 
payment; however, John L. MICHAEL claimed to be agent 
for her and refused to accept the money and assignment.

John L. MICHAEL was exec/of George E. SMITH and had 
the mortgage assigned to his wife with monies from 
the Estate of George E. SMITH.
The court denied the objection.

Submitted to auditor on 2 Mar 1904.

       OBENDERFER, WILLIAMS  - Frederick City

Edward SNOWDEN  vs  Margaret WARNER & h/ Eldridge WARNER
- Sale of Real Estate  - #7329 - Feb 1903

Edward SNOWDEN had been living in Frederick County for 
the past 2 1/2 years.
In 1890, when he was 18 years old and living with his 
maternal grandmother, Elisa Syrus, he was assaulted and 
despicably used by Samuel CLAGETT, now deceased.  
He had filed charges and recovered $400 from Clagett, 
paid to Joseph SYRUS in trust for the use of Edward, 
because Edward was still a minor.  

Joseph SYRUS was of no relation to him, but was the husband
of his maternal grandmother, Eliza SYRUS.
Edward was the grandson of Chambers CYRAS or SYRUS.

Joseph used $220 of this money to pay off a mortgage and 
spent more of this money on improving and adding to this 
property.

Joseph SYRUS died July 4, 1894, leaving a widow Eliza who 
died in 1901, and his only child, a daughter Margaret, the 
wife of Eldridge WARNER.  

Joseph's name was spelled CYRAS, SYRUS and SIRUS, but he 
was also known as Joseph CHAMBERS. 

The property has never been conveyed and Joseph was a 
laboring colored man, entirely without means, thus no 
administration was ever taken out on the estate.

Petition for Edward to claim the property since his money, 
entrusted to Joseph, was invested into this property and, 
therefore, should now belong to Edward.

LAND - Lot (32x71') on east side of North Bentz St in 
Frederick City, between Sixth & Seventh Sts; being #189.
Improved with a log and weatherboarded house.
Previously to Theodore SHULTZ from George T. DILL

from Heirs of Theodore SHULTZ (d/ intestate)
- Henrietta Dill KREH & h/ Charles F. KREH
- Sophia K. SHULTZ
- Mary M. SHULTZ
and the mortgagee George T. DILL.

Margaret (Syrus) WARNER disputed the facts, but there 
was evidence to validate the claims.  She was ordered 
to reimburse the monies (w/ interest) to Edward SNOWDEN 
or else the property would be sold. 

Trustees were Albert S. BROWN and H. DORSEY ETCHINSON.
SALE was held 1 Mar 1904 at the Court House; 
high bidder was: 
- Frederick W. OBENDERFER at $300; however, 
  Margaret Janet WILLIAMS was substituted as purchaser.
