    1. [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Brown County: Collin M. McCord Filed Injunction to Prevent Unscheduled Visitation by His Son

    3. Augusta (GA) Chronicle, November 15, 1913, p. 4. A QUEER ACTION AT LAW This is a queer action at law in Nashville, Indiana, as we learn of it in the telegrams from that town. It is a suit in which a father asks a perpetual injunction to prevent his son and granddaughter visiting him except on specific invitation. It was filed in the circuit court here the other day by Attorney W. J. Beck for Collin M. McCord, aged 73, a Brown County farmer. It is alleged in the complaint that Charles R. McCord, aged 38 (difficult to read), the son, for many years refused to speak to his father or mother when passing the house, but that in March 1912, the son, accompanied by his daughter, Ruth, aged 10, arrived at his father's home and announced that they were there to stay. Since then, the complaint states, the two have lived at the elder McCord's without paying their board. In the complaint, the father asks the privilege of inviting his son and granddaughter to visit his home and that the duration of the visit may be determined by the host and hostess and not the guests. Mr. Beck said he had consulted many law books but had not found similar suit on record. Many a George father would not resort to law in a case like this. If the son would not work he would be treated to the hickory, no matter what his age. At any rate, he would be thrown out, bag and baggage, if his father did not want him.
