In Superior Court: Petition to sell land & make assests
Joseph D. Coe, adm. of Sallie Bowles deceased
vs.
Susan Stanley, et al
The plantiff above named complaining of the defendants alleges and says:
1st: That Sallie Bowles, late of the county of Surry, died on this 16th day of July 1894 and that he duly qualified as administrator of her said estate on the 23rd day of July 1894.
2nd: That on the 15th day of August 1894 he sold the personal property belonging to this said estate which amounted to the sum of $23.20 which was applied to the payment of her just debts and the costs of adminstration. For particulars see report of sale filed in the clerks office on the 3rd day of
September 1894. That there is only 9 cents now in the hands of this plantiff.
3rd: That there is now outstanding debts against said defendant's estate to the amount of $45.83 or there abouts, as this plantiff is informed and believes that there is only about $15.00 in said estate in so far as this plantiff is now able to state.
4th: That the said Sallie Bowles died; seized and possessed of a certain tract of land at Stony Knowl (sic) in said county containing five acres which is bounded as follows: by the lands of Lee Stanley and W. M. McDowell, and is in this plaintiff's opinion reasonably worth about the the sum of One hundred Dollars.
5th: That Susan Stanley, Hiram Stanley, Nancy McGee, Gennett Coe, Will Coe, Robert Coe, Emory Coe, Bet Mooney, Jim Mooney, Ali Coe, Leonard (sic) Coe, Doe Coe, James Coe, Thomas Coe, Plutina Coe, Hiram Coe, Jane Hutson, L. J. Stanley, Nancy Jenkins, Martha Thomas, Nathan Stanley, Margarett Stanley, Emiline Stanly, James Hardy, Ed. Hardy, Metilda Hardy, Nancy Stanley, Mildred Stanley, William Stanley, Sallie Wood, Lee Wood, Sion Wood, Ira Wood, W. R. Wood, Amy Snow, Lee Stanley, Jane Stanley, J. A.

J. Stanley, Joseph Stanley, Elmo Stanley, Everette Stanley, Joseph Stanley, Silas Wood, Samy Wood, Jack Wood, Divinia Jenkins, Joseph Stanley are the heirs at law of the said Sallie Bowles deceased, and that they are all residents of Surry County and are of legal age except Elmo Stanley and Everett Stanley who reside at Hillsboro, Texas.
6th: That Elmo Stanley and Everett Stanley are minors and without guardian and publication has been made for them in the Yadkin Valley News, a paper published in Mt Airy, North Carolina according to
law, and this plantiff asks that a guardian ad litum be appointed to represent their interests in this action.
7th: That plantiff prays the court that an order be made authorizing him to sell said land on such terms as may seem to the court just and right, because it will be impossible for the debts of said deceased to be paid without selling the same together with the costs of administration.
Wherefore plaintiff asks of court to grant the relief which is prayed for, and for each other, and further relief as the court may see fit and proper to grant.
