STORY ABOUT HER FATHER'S WILL DISPUTE:
The Franklin Republican, January 22, 1897, page 7
BY COMPROMISE – The Kinnick Will Contest is Settled - $12,000 for the Plaintiffs.
The Kinnick will contest case was settled by compromise in Indianapolis Monday and according to the terms of settlement the plaintiffs are given $12,000 and the defendant pays all costs of litigation.
The case was called in the Marion circuit court before Judge Allen; the jury had been impaneled and all was in readiness for the trial when the attorneys appeared and announced that the case had been compromised and it was accordingly dismissed from court.
The suit grew out of the division of the estate of William F. Kinnick of Clark township, who died in January 1895, leaving property valued at $100,000, to which there were three heirs: his son Benjamin F. Kinnick of Clark township and two daughters, Mrs. S. Minor Tilson of Clark township and Mrs. Robert Whitesides of Greenwood. After his death it was found that the greater part of the personal property, valued at about $50,000 and 400 acres of land had been transferred to his son, B. F. Kinnick, and the daughters received 250 acres each. The son was appointed administrator and his inventory showed $15,000 in personal property to be divided. The daughters filed suit to dismiss the administratorship and it was compromised by the appointment of T. B. Wood to serve with Kinnick. Later suit was brought against Kinnick for an accounting of the entire property, and in the complaint it was alleged that the deceased was of unsound mind and had been unduly influenced. The suit was filed a year ago and was taken to Marion county on a change of venue. According to the terms of compromise the daughters get $6,300 each in addition to one-third of the $15,000 first reported. The division of land remains unchanged.
The attorneys in the case were Miller & Barnett of this city, J. B. Keeting of Indianapolis and E. A. McAlpin of Greenwood for the plaintiffs, Judge Johnson, Elbridge & Barker of this city, Judge Howe and Duncan & Smith of Indianapolis for the defendant.
