To the Honorable Edward O'Rourke, Judge of the Allen Circuit Court:
William Emenheiser, guardian under appointment of this court of the said
William W. Emenheiser and Nancy Emenheiser, minors, respectfully shown that
said wards are the owners in fee simple as tenants in common, of the undivided
two thirtieths (2/30) the following described real estate in Allen County,

The South west quarter of the south east quarter of section eighteen (18)
township twenty nine (29) north, of range fourteen (14) east and the north
twenty nine (29) acres of the east half of the east half of the south west
quarter of said section 18, in Allen County, Indiana.
that said: interest of said minors in said real estate is worth the probable
value of two hundred and forty dollars ($240).
and said guardian avers that it is to the interest of said wards that said
real estate shall be sold, for the reason that one Helen Essig has filed a
suit
in the Allen Superior Court of this county against this guardian and the other
owners of said real estate for a partition be made among the owners of said
real estate and, if a partition is obtained in said action, said real
estate is
liable to be sold for much less than its real value; that said Essig has
consented to dismiss her said action of partition and she and all the other
owners of said real estate have agreed with this guardian to sell their
interest in said property together at the time guardian has made date so that
there will not be a sacrifice of the same; that a better invest of the
value of
the interests of said wards in said real estate can be made by loaning the
same
at six per cent (6%) interest, which money can be loaned at that rate; that
the
value of all the personal estate belonging to said wards that has come to the
knowledge or possession of this guardian, is the sum of seventy-five dollars
($75) in money, which he has now loaned out at six per cent. (6%) interest,
none of which money, or the revenue derived therefrom, has been expanded: that
said wards have no personal property, of which this guardian has knowledge,
dependent on any estate or the execution of any trust except in a claim of
$28.00 against the estate of James McKeeman worth about $25.; that said wards'
real estate is of the annual rental value of eight and 88/100 dollars ($8.88);
that the rent received by this guardian from said wards' real estate was eight
and 88/100 ($8.88); of whichtwo and 28/100 dollars ($2.28) was used in paying
taxes and the balance added to their personal estate and which is included in
the personal property herein mentioned; that upon the sale of the real estate
in this petition described, this guardian intends, unless the court shall
otherwise order, to loan the proceeds of sale at not less than six per cent
(6%) interest upon approved security; that there are no liens upon the
interest
of said wards in said real estate, except the costs of said guardianship; that
said William W. Emenheiser is now aged ten (10) years and resides with this
guardian, his father, in Adams Township, Allen County, Indiana; that said
Nancy
Emenheiser is twelve (12) years of age and resides with this guardian in said
Adams Township.
Said guardian prays, therefore, upon the facts and for the reasons herein
stated, that he may by the order of this court, be authorized to make sale of
the real estate of his said wards in this petition described, upon such terms
and conditions as the court may deem most advisable.
William Emenheiser
State of Indiana, Allen County, ss.
William Emenheiser, being duly sworn, upon oath says the matters and things
stated and alleged in the foregoing, his petition as guardian of William W.
Emenheiser and Nancy Emenheiser, are true as he verily believes.

subscribed and sworn to before me, this 26th day of April, 1897.
Rat M. M. Elliot
To the Honorable Edward O'Rourke, Judge of the Allen Circuit Court:
Comes now William Emenhiser, guardian of William W. Emenhiser and Nancy D.
Emenhiser, and respectfully shows to the court that, pursuant to the order of
this court heretofore made, for the sale, at private sale, of the following
described real estate of his said wards, to wit:
The undivided two-thirtieths (2/30) of the southwest quarter (1/4) of the
southeast quarter (1/4) and the north twenty-nine (29) acres of the east half
(1/2) of the east half (1/2) of the southwest quarter (1/4) of section
eighteen
(18), township twenty-nine (29) north of range fourteen (14) east, in Allen
County, Indiana, he offered said real estate for sale on the 19th day of June,
1897, and Alexander McKeeman having bid therefor the sum of one hundred
forty-five and 36/100 dollars ($145.36) and that being the highest and best
price bid for the same and being the amount of the appraisement of said real
estate, he openly struck off and sold the same to the said Alexander McKeeman
for said sum of one hundred forty-five and 36/100 dollars (145.36).
Therefore this guardian asks the court to confirm said sale and to approve
the
deed for said premises to the said Alexander McKeeman, herewith tendered, and
for all other proper directions in the premises.
