Guardianship of a Soldier in Indiana Supreme Court
The guardianship of Cassius M. Reeves, an elderly blind demented veteran, is before the Indiana Supreme Court challenging the 1882 Clay circuit court judgment declaring him of unsound mind and appointing Fred J. S. Robinson as guardian. James Soules, claiming Vigo county citizenship at the time, contests Clay jurisdiction. Judge McGregor rules for Robinson. Reeves, a pensioner with about 17000 in personal estate, was once at Vigo infirmary and handed to Robinson. If the suit fails, 922.61 in taxes paid by Robinson as guardian would revert to Vigo county.
