Sumner Deeds Voided In Supreme Court Ruling
The Supreme Court voided deeds by Augusta Sommerkorn six days before her June 1900 death at age 75, transferring property to A. Ewing Sumner, son of Horton Sumner. Frederick R. Giebelhausen, a brother of Sommerkorn, and others claimed undue influence by Sumner. The court found misrepresentation and insufficient consideration in the transfers and set aside the deeds.
