Bedford (IN) Daily Mail, November 15, 1901, p. 1. ESTATE OF GEORGE CANNER George Canner, the old soldier who died here last Monday, is thought to have a half-brother in this country somewhere. In thinking over the matter, it occurs to me that there is a John Canner living west of Bedford a few miles who may be the brother in question. George Caner was a German, 64 years of age, a Civil War veteran, and leaves an estate worth from $2,000 to $4,000 including a farm of 177 acres of land. Canner was getting a pension of $24 a month and has a bank account of several hundred dollars. The John Canner living near Bedford is a German, also, and may be the relative in question. John Allman has charge of Canner's land. He says Canner has often spoken of having a half-brother, but no other relatives in this country. His half-brother, if he can be found, will probably fall heir to the estate. George Canner had no family, was never married and dropped dead suddenly of heart failure last Monday. He had walked five miles to hits place to have his pension voucher filled out.
