Message Board Post:
Looking for assistance in finding information regarding a lawsuit that supposedly filed by
the descendants of Hugh McGary (Sr ?) against the town of Evansville concerning land that
was to be set aside as park land, but which the town sold to a developer and a department
store was erected on the land. It is believed that Hugh's second wife was buried on
the land.
According to family lore, this suit was brought sometime in the 1920's or 1930's,
my great grandmother, Pura Georgia (Coleman) Johnston was said to have received a
settlement concerning the matter. Since she received a settlement, the matter was likely
resolved after 9 April 1930, when Pura's father George William Coleman died, thus
allowing his daughter to receive a distribution.
Any help appreciated.
