Annie, thanks much for your offer of help. Last night I spotted a very truncated online reference, apparently taken from the October 6, 1892 issue of the Mansfield "Weekly News", to an apparent court case between my great great grandfather, Isaac Bricker of Jackson Township, and his older brother Franklin. I had no knowledge of this before that moment. I would be very interested in the entire article. There seems to have been an article about Isaac in the same newspaper on September 24, 1891 as well. Again, thanks very much.
