Will Probated Custody Fight For Infant Anna Louise Smith

Oris J. Smith seeks habeas corpus for custody of Anna Louise Smith, now in the Watsons’ care since their adoption after the mother Grayce Smith’s death. A will probated in 1915 directs Louise Watson to raise the child if she cannot care for herself, claiming custody by Watson through the 1913 adoption. The Watsons’ filing cites cruelty by Smith and prior divorce actions, while Smith’s petition asserts lack of notice and asserts his parental rights through prior marriage and family. The dispute centers on guardianship and custody as proceedings unfold in circuit court.
