Masses ruled taxable fund in Wisconsin Supreme Court decision
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that a bequest for masses is not tax exempt, holding the act a religious service. The case stemmed from Mary Miller of Kewaunee County who died in July 1950 and left four $1,000 mass requests to Norbertine Fathers of De Pere and Salvatorian Fathers of St Nazianz. The court modified a contempt ruling against Fond du Lac attorney J E O'Brien, reducing the alternate sentence to 30 days. A separate report notes a fatal tree mishap in Viroqua where 35 year old Gifford Anderson died after a tree he felled fractured his neck.
