- J.107 The Leavenworth Weekly Times (Leavenworth Kansas), Thursday Feb 12 1903 page 8, PUBLICATION NOTICE — partition-suit caption in District Court of Leavenworth County Kansas, dated 4 Feb 1903, attorney F. P. FITZWILLIAM. Property: Lot eleven (11) in block five (5) Day's subdivision to the city of Leavenworth, Leavenworth County Kansas. Plaintiffs: Lizzie M. Merrell + Ellen A. Park + Julia E.

Young as executor of the last will and testament of William Merrell, deceased. = primary-source attestation that Frederic Stephen Cooper (= [G.95](../G-Cemetery/G.95.yaml) Chris Cooper's 2-greats-grandfather) was a co-owner of a Leavenworth Kansas city lot in 1903 alongside multiple Merrell-family heirs of decedent William Merrell whose estate was being partitioned. Defendants must answer by 23 March 1903. Cooper-Merrell family-property connection at Leavenworth Kansas primary-source-locked to 1903. 'Frances E. Cooper' as plaintiff vs 'Frederick S. Cooper' as defendant in same caption may indicate (a) two different Frances Coopers; OR (b) Frances J. Merrell Cooper [Fred's wife, plaintiff via her Merrell-side interest] vs Fred [defendant via his husband's interest in same lot] — typical caption convention in partition suits where co-owners can appear on opposite sides of same caption.
