Equity Court Abstracts

These are abstracts from Equity Court Records of Frederick County, Maryland, many times providing family data on the defendant and sometimes on persons not mentioned on the docket. Some of the listings are quite informative while others, being dismissed, may only have the date and name of plantiff and defendant. However, the cases brought before the judge consisted of sworn testimony and each one holds a story. Perhaps you will find a story connected to your search.

JLJ-2, 379-410 - STOKES, LOUGH, MOTTER, WINGERD, etc 

Eugene L. ROWE, creditor  vs  Mountain View Cemetery of Emmitsburg & Others
- Petition to Sell Real Estate - Equity #5958 - Oct 1892

LAND - Mountain View Cemetery, 8 acres, located near the NW boundary 
of Emmitsburg; adjoined lands of Joseph HAYS and William PEOPLES.
Previously to Rev. Abner R. KREMER (w/ Annie M.) from David GAMBLE 
in Apr 1879 [TG-12, 87]. (Signed by KREMER in Winchester, VA)

Agreement in May 1881 for the purchase of 8 acres at $700 between Rev. A.R. 
KREMER and the corporation directors:  Henry STOKES, president, and Uriah 
A. LOUGH, Lewis M. MOTTER, Isaac S. ANNAN, J. Taylor MOTTER, Lewis 
A. BOLLINGER, Jacob L. HOKE, William S. GUTHRIE and Samuel MOTTER. 
Monies were furnished by Lewis M. MOTTER and was a loan to the corporation.
However, the deed was erroneously made to the directors instead of the cemetery 
corporation with the directors listed as such.

Since the agreement, J. TAYLOR MOTTER now resides in DC and William 
GUTHRIE resides in Missouri and Samuel MOTTER has since died.

The Cemetery, being insolvent, issued a deed of trust for the remaining land 
not sold as burial lots (only 1/4 acre had then been used for burials); however, 
that has been disputed and Uriah LOUGH and William S. GUTHRIE stated  
there have been other lots sold which are scattered in other lots, not all in 
one section.  Also stated, in 1891. the state of Pennsylvania erected, at a cost 
of $1,000, a granite monument in memory of Rev. Dr. E.E. HIGHBEE, super-
intendent  of public schools in Pennsylvania, which is resting upon his remains 
and interred in this cemetery.  Any sales would infringe on maintaining this 
site as well as hinder access to it. 

Testimony was heard 12 Oct 1892 from: 
- Henry STOKES, age 67, Emmitsburg

The court found the cemetery corportaion to be insolvent and adjudged 
it to be dissolved.

Trustees were Jacob ROHRBACK and Eugene L. ROWE. 
SALE was held 3 Dec 1892 at the Emmit House in Emmitsburg; 
high bidder was:

person and still remains there, the county providing support and maintenance.  

It was recently learned SCHMIDT owns property in Frederick City and, having 
no one to provide for him or care for his property or pay the taxes, it was 
determined the property should be sold to cover his expenses.
 
Simon SMITH had been arrested and charged with assault and battery on Margaretta 
SMITH on 29 Apr 1871.  A commission determined him to be insane on 12 May 1871.

  His mother died a few months ago and now he is collecting rents for Schmidt's 
  sister.  He believed Simon was about 55 years old.
