Richard L. Irwin,
William Harper Irwin,
Flora E. Irwin Voorhis vs Etta Irwin Miller and Charles Miller,
her husband in Common Pleas,
Warren County,
Ohio on 5 May 1902. Law suit was regarding land division Section Section 34,
Town 4,
E.R. 2. N. 160 Acres & Section 20,
Range 2 between the Miami Rivers,
93 Acres in Deerfield Township,
Ohio from their mother,
Sarah Harper Irwin’s estate. The law suit stems from disagreement on how to pay their mother,
Sarah Harper Irwin’s debts after death,
the feeling was that her personal property could settle her debts and that the children wanted division of their land inheritance. Since the land could not be divided equally between them without causing harm to the value of the land,
Section 34,
E.R. 2. N. 160 Acres was sold at public auction to Finley Thompson for $9,
855.00. Finley Thompson paid in full in cash. Section 20,
93 Acres was sold at public auction to Herman H. Krome for $3,
791.00. Herman H. Krome paid in full in cash. After cost,
each child received $3,
317.01 from the auctions. The court record indicate that Section 20,
93 Acres was once owned by Robert Ross,
deceased,
set apart for him as on of the heirs of John Ross,
by quick claim deed from William Willoughby and wife and William Ross and wife heirs at law of Joseph Ross,
deceased. Sarah Harper Irwin was deeded this land by Frank Gallaher,
Sheriff of Warren County,
Ohio by deed dated,
November 30,
1897 and recorded in Deed Book No. 79,

Section 34, Town 4, E.R. 2. N. 160 Acres
Mentioned in law suit regarding division of Sarah Harper Irwin’s heirs land in 1902. If appears that this land belonged to Robert Irwin her father in-law in 1875. I would guess that after his death in 1875, he left this property to his son, William Cox Irwin who left it to his wife, Sarah Harper Irwin after his death in 1896. The property was then left to the remaining living children after their mother, Sarah Harper Irwin died in 1901, (Richard L. Irwin, William Harper Irwin, Flora E. Irwin Voorhis and Etta Irwin Miller.) The law suit stems from disagreement on how to pay their mother, Sarah Harper Irwin’s debts after death, the feeling was that her personal property could settle her debts and that the children wanted division of their land inheritance. Since the land could not be divided equally between them without causing harm to the value of the land it was sold at public auction to Finley Thompson for $9,855.00. Finley Thompson paid in full in cash.
