Church Trustees Sues Minister Over Notes and Mortgage
The trustees of the Reformed church in Canaan sue Rev L A Edmonds and wife in Common Pleas to recover two notes totaling 600 dollars with interest from 1895 and 1896, plus foreclose the church mortgage.

Defense cites inability to pay now, with a son in Philadelphia. There is an unrelated ad for Dr King’s New Discovery for coughs and consumption, offered by Lanbach & Boyd’s Drug Store.
