Mother Trying To Get Possession Of House From Son
Case of Samantha M. Boots Against Samuel C. Boots On Trial At Court
Ejectment action brought by Mrs. Samantha M. Boots against her son, Samuel C. Boots, and daughter-in-law, Lula Boots, to secure possession of a property in Ellwood City, is being heard before Judge Hildebrand in county court today. Mrs. Samantha M. Boots, who is around 80 years of age, is the widow of James D. Boots. Under the will of her husband she was left a life interest in the property in question, with the right to consume the principal should it become necessary. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Boots is said to have made an agreement with her son and daughter-in-law whereby they were to move into her house. She was to retain one room and they were to have the balance and provide meals for Mrs. Boots. This arrangement was continued for some time when, owing to friction, Mrs. Samantha Boots wanted to secure sole possession of her home. The defendants refused to move out, claiming that it was not in accordance with the agreement made and further alleging that they had faithfully performed their part of the agreement. Mrs. Samantha Boots left the house and is now trying to get possession of it again.
