1921 "This morning the county court was
occupied in hearing the application
for the probate of the will of Clark
S. Newlon. late of Weeping Water,
on the petition of Mary Newlon.
Lloyd I. Wolcott, with whom Mr.
Newlon has conducted his business
affairs and a witness of the will was
present to offer his testimony and the
estate was represented by Attorney
C. E. TelTt as the legal advisor. Mr.
Newlon leaves an estate of $7,000 of
real estate and personal property valued at $23,000."
1924 "Now Mr. Specht files an appeal to find out what the supreme court
thinks about it. He says that back in li^O, when the land boom was on he
contracted to buy land of Mary C. Newlon and her husband for $60.000.
but that because of defects in the title he was not promptly furnished,
as agreed, with an abstract and proper deed. As a result he lost
the sale of the land to a neighbor, at a figure that would have netted
him a nice profit. He, therefore, sued for the S^.ouo depreciation
in the value of the property that has since occurred. "
