Seek Partition Of Estate Of WM. H. Bass
Two Brothers of Deceased Citizen of Liberty Township File Action
To Have His Estate Divided ? Claim of Foster Son Disputed
Joseph C. Bass and Chester M. Bass filed a petition in the Common Pleas Court of Darke County Monday asking for the partition of the estate left by William H. Bass who died the past winter, intestate, leaving 19 acres of land. The plaintiffs each claim a one-eighth interest in the property.
William H. Bass left no issue but a foster son, Chauncey Bass, no blood relation to the Bass family, descendants of Zebedee Bass, claims the property.
The plaintiffs allege that the property was willed to William H. Bass by Zebedee Bass. That Chauncey Bass claims an interest in the property and this claim is a cloud on the title of the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs ask the court to have the defendant set up his claim, and also to inquire into any money or other personal property that William H. Bass might have owned, in which they claim an interest. They want the property partitioned and their shares set off to them, or to have it sold and their interest paid to them in money. The other heirs of Zebedee Bass are named also as defendants.
