Elkader Court Rules Last Will Valid in Hedrich Case
In Elkader the district court upheld the 1887 duplicate will of George Hertrech, finding the testator of sound mind and not unduly influenced. The protracted dispute over the 1804 will, which favored the widow and descendants, versus the 1887 document that left more to distant relatives, involved about sixty thousand dollars and featured lawyers Corlett Price Davidson Murphy. The jury’s quick verdict ends a heated contest. meanwhile the state’s board of control seeks guidance on removing insane inmates without county consent as counties build more asylums to treat their own.
