Anderson Estate Is Complicated by Death of Heir
Loren Anderson Dies at His Home East of Burlington Junction
The administration estate of Thaddeus Anderson, large land holder who died February 10, 1921, was further complicated today by the death of one of the heirs, Loren C. [urtis] Anderson, a son.

Mr. Anderson's death occurred suddenly about 8 o'clock this morning when he fell over on the porch of his home five miles east of Burlington Junction. He had been suffering from an attack of 'flu and kidney trouble.

Mr. Anderson, who was 58 years old, and his brother, Ulysses A. Anderson, of near Hopkins, wee beneficiaries of the estate of their father, who owned land in the Quitman and Hopkins vicinity.

Created Trust Fund

The will of the late Thaddeus Anderson created a trust fund of his property, which is now tied up litigation in the circuit courts. The Famers Trust Company was named trustee of the estate and took care of the business up until its closing a year ago. Later F. P. Robinson was appointed by the court as trustee.

The will provided that Loren C. Anderson should receive the income from the estate and that after his death the trust was to be dissolved, the benefits to be received by Ulysses A. Anderson.

However, since the closing of the bank a suit and an injunction have been filed in connection with the trust estate. Mr. Robinson filed a suit for preference against the bank and Loren Anderson brought an injunction suit to prevent Mr. Robinson from proceeding with the claim for priority. This injunction is pending a change of venue.

Consisted of $36,000

Attorneys interested in the case were now wondering today just what is the status of the estate and of the suits.

The trust estate when taken over by the bank consisted of $36,000 which has been invested mostly in farm mortgages.

No funeral arrangements had been made today for Mr. Anderson, who was born in Gentry county but spent the greater part of his life in Nodaway county. He is survived by his widow, an infant son, and his brother, Ulysses.
