Suit seeks appeal in $60,000 Pfaffenberger estate case
In Seymour the Young Men and Young Women’s Christian Association asks Judge Branaman to order the estate administrator to file an appeal after a Bartholomew County court ruling against the Association. The contested will left the entire Pfaffenberger estate to a local Seymour organization to run YMCA work. The will was challenged by Mrs. Jennie B. Hereth, half sister and legal heir, who argues the will is invalid due to absence of such an organization at the death. The matter follows a pending motion for a new trial and a planned appeal.
