In Noblesville Indiana on June 19 1913 after a four day trial the jury awarded the plaintiffs Mrs Hiram Waddell Mrs Mary Huntsinger and Alexander Stephenson the estate of Miss Parthena Stephenson citing undue influence. The will left the estate to the Wesleyan church of Indiana aside from a few heirlooms. The original value was 12800 with about 1200 remaining after debts.
