Long fight over McNab estate ends in Albany sale
Real estate valued at about $40 000 in Albany New York is quieted by Indiana heirs after a five year investigation. Allen county claimants William A Hamilton Barbara Hamilton Austin Warroch Jane Darroch Mary Warroch and another Fort Wayne resident prove heirship to the McNab estate after a lengthy cross state inquiry. Fort Wayne lawyers Messie Heaton Yaple managed the case as the sale of $13 000 worth of land in Albany closes the contest. The decedent William A F McNab died childless at Albany in 1901 leaving no will and a presumed state revert. Social notes recount how Daniel T Gifford of Genoa Wisconsin first asserted kinship but could not prevail.
