Adjudged Dead And Yet Alive

An Ypsilanti man is dead so far as the records of the probate court are evidence. He rnysteriously disappeared a couple of years or so ago and his family came into the probate court making the formal averment that he was dead. An administrator of his estáte was appointed, commissioners appointed, claims against the estáte were allowed and settled, the property divided and a final accounting allowed, thus disposing of the estáte so far as the probate court was concerned. After all this had been done, the dead man reappeared. He visited the court and showed that he was mad clear through at being adjudged dead. The property matters were settled up outside and he never asked to have the proceedings set aside. So that to all legal intents and purpose he is yet dead and his property properly divided. Just how the estate will be administered when he actually does shuffie off this mortal coil remains to be seen.
