Guardian ad litem's Answer in Opdycke v. Opdycke & Opdycke, Law papers

Summary: The court appointed Stacy Opdycke as guardian of minors Charlotte and Thomas Opdycke. Charlotte and Thomas jointly owned 190 acres. Stacy retained Lincoln and petitioned the court to partition the land in order better to reinvest the proceeds for the minors. The court ordered Stacy Opdycke to sell the thirty-acre tract and one eighty-acre tract, but not the other eighty-acre tract. Greely bought the thirty-acre tract for $360, but the eighty-acre tract did not sell due to lack of bidders. Charlotte became of age and married Keedy. The court amended the order to include the other eighty-acre tract. Davis bought eighty-acre tract for $1,440, and Landis bought the other eighty-acre tract for $880. Lincoln received at least $37.50 for his legal services.
