Sumner Deeds Voided Over Alleged Fraud in 1907 Case
Justice Davis voided deeds by Augusta Sommerkorn made shortly before her death in June 1907 to A Ewing Sumner son of Horton Sumner and others. Frederick R. Giebelhausen and relatives sued claiming Horton influenced her to transfer property to shield it from heirs. Sumner denied wrongdoing, saying he lived with Sommerkorn for years and helped manage the estate while relatives neglected her. The court found flaws in deed transfers to Sumner and Florence Felton, who later passed them to Horton Sumner.
