a few weeks after the said Ann Margaret HARRY, who died without having 
executed the trust reposed to him by said will, by selling the said house 
and lot and the personal property aforesaid, and that it is necessary that 
a trustee should be appointed by a Court of Equity to make said sales.
  
The bill further charges that the testator directed that the proceeds of 
sale of said property, shall be divided as follows, viz:  
- One half to P. R. HARRY, the son of testator, 
- and the other half to Charles MAICKE and Sabina MAICKE or to the survivor 
  of them; and that Charles MAICKE resides out of this State, in parts unknown.  
  
The bill states that P. R. HARRY in due form of law made his testament and 
last will, and afterwards died withouth having revoked the same; that George 
H. JOHNSON was appointed Executor by said will, who accepted the trust 
reposed in him by said will; and that the said P. R. HARRY died, leaving a 
widow named Elizabeth HARRY, and two Children named Clara HARRY and 
Charles Alfred HARRY, who are infants under the age of twenty-one years, 
who reside in the town of Graceham, in said County.
  
The bill states that the said Sabina MAICKE and Charles MAICKE are grand 
children of the testator, Isaac R. HARRY.
  
It is thereupon ordered, this 21st day of August 1857, that the complainant

City of Frederick, once in each of four successive weeks, for one month, before

to be and appear in this Honorable Court, in person or by Solicitor, on or before 
the first day of January 1858, to answer the premises, and to show cause if any 
he has, why a decree ought not to pass as prayed.
