ESTATE OF GEORGE CANNER
Medora, Indiana, November 9, 1901
Bedford Mail-George Canner, the old soldier who died here last Monday is
thought to have a half-brother in this country somewhere. In thinking over
the matter, it occurs to me that there is a John Canner living west of
Bedford a few miles who may be the brother in question.
George Canner was a German, 64 years of age, a Civil War veteran, and leaves
an estate worth from $2,000 to $4,000 including a farm of 177 acres of land.
Canner was getting a pension of $24 per month and has a bank account of
several hundred dollars. The John Canner living near Bedford is a German,
also, and may be the relative in question. John Allman has charge of
Canner's land. He says Canner has often spoken of having a half-brother,
but no other relatives in this country. His half-brother, if he can be
found, will probably fall heir to the estate.
John Canner had no family, was never married and dropped dead suddenly of
heart failure last Monday. He had walked five miles to this place to have
his pension voucher filled out.

SILVER JUBILEE
Popular Priest Celebrates His 25th Anniversary of Ordination
Today is the 25th anniversary of the ordination of Rev. William F. Seibertz,
rector of St. Mary's Catholic Church. Father Seibertz studied at the
University of Innsbruck in Tyrol, Austria, and was ordained in that ancient
and beautiful city, coming to this country not long afterward and taking
charge of a parish at Richmond, Ind., from which he went to Indianapolis,
St. James, Tell City and to this city in June a year ago.
The popular rector had kept the matter of his silver jubilee very quiet, but
it leaked out anyhow, and he is now receiving the congratulations of his
many friends both in his congregation and outside of it.
