Hey Nancee -- I love these articles and hope that you DO find plenty more to whet our appetites for the "untold" or maybe just "unremembered" stories in some of our lives. Re: "Guardianship of IVAN S. CORSBIE. Final report approved. Guardian discharged. Bond exonerated." Ivan was a lifetime friend of my grandparents, part of the "Corsbie Corners" Van Wert families -- a name that popped up in family during the years of my childhood. I don't know that he was related, but definitely a name that I recognize. I'm thinking his wife's name was MILDRED, but that could very well be in error. :-) I'm wondering if these "cases" of prohibition liquor sales will ultimately provide names that I recognize and as "family tradition" has suggested EXIST. I'll stay tuned and hope you're successful in your searches at the Leon Library. And a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you as well! -Sherry > [Original Message] > From: Nancee Seifert <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 12/30/2009 7:25:44 AM > Subject: [IADECATU] COURT HAD ADJOURNED -- April 11, 1912 > > Decatur County Journal > Leon, Iowa > Thursday, April 11, 1912 > > The Proceedings: > > The March term of the Decatur County District Court came to an end last > Friday after a three weeks' session.
