Dickhut Estate Trial Over Care Claim in County Court
In county court a jury heard Mrs Margaret Van der Reith claim $4 491 against the Dickhut estate for nursing care of Miss Caroline Dickhut. Emery Lancaster represents the estate with Schlegenhaus and McCann as counsel as Emory arguments enlivened Thursday proceedings. The plaintiff says a substantial legacy was expected for faithful service while the will showed no legacy to her. She seeks payment for nursing care from July 5 1914 to April 18 1919 totaling about $4 991.43 though the suit cites $4 491.

Belgian soldier Jean DeGroot travels across the United States to locate his two sons John and Simon who were brought to America by a clergyman in 1918. He rests in Quincy for two days then continues to San Diego seeking the children in an orphanage led by the minister who rescued them. DeGroot, a Belgian Army veteran, endured gas attacks and five months as a German prisoner. He carries credentials confirming his honesty and genuine search.
