Receiver Appointed for Fall Creek Farm Amid Property Dispute
On a petition by Charles E. Boston, Floyd Brock was named receiver for 71 acres in Fall Creek Township amid ownership doubts. Defendants include John H. Brock, Sarah Brock, Edward E. Dawson, Bessie M. Dawson, John B. Hite, Rosa B. Hite, and John Fair. The case notes an $8,000 loan secured by first mortgage, a 1921 sale to Dawson and wife, unpaid interest, and a planned sale to Hite couple. The petition alleges Dawson and wife absconded with property and rents, while weathering the farm’s decline. Brock serves as bondsman for the receiver. An answer confirms truth of petition. Also: Gibson and Scott, recent escapees, were recaptured and returned to Pendleton barracks. Gibson is confined pending disposition of his case.
