Judge Removes Guardian in Bath Child Guardianship Case
Probate Judge J S Low ell ruled to remove Sarah J Goulet Sante from guardianship of Daniel Goulet minor son of Alfred Goulet who died in 1918 after a two hour hearing. An immediate appeal to the supreme court was taken. The $2500 insurance fund for the child is referenced with $1500 already paid to the guardian and the rest expected from Catholic Order of Foresters and unions. Testimony portrayed the Bath house where the guardian operated as lax, while defenders argued Mrs Sante acted to look after the child’s interests and that most charges were denied. The petitioner Matilda Cote of Lewiston seeks custody. Cote claims Mrs Goulet Sante is unfit.
