The Matter of the Tutorship of the Minor,
Children of M. A. Vinson and his late wife, ,
Amanda W. Adams, deceased. § State of Louisiana.
The Petition of William J. Vinson, of your said Parish and State, respectfully shows:
That his Father, M. A. Vinson, died recently in your said Parish, possessed of considerable real and personal property. That your Petitioner is a son of the first marriage. That by his second marriage with Amanda Adams, there are still living, three children, to-wit: Rose E., aged twelve years, Grover W., aged nine years, Allie E. aged eight years. That both the Mother and the Father of said children are dead. That your Petitioner is a half Brother by a former marriage, of the minors, and is the only near male relative of said children. That your Petitioner, with said minors, inherited from their Father and Mother, each about one fourth of their estate; which amounts to approximately One Thousand Dollars each, and for the three minors, Three Thousand Dollars. That in addition thereto, your Petitioner and the minor children are the beneficiaries of a life policy for Two Thousand ($2,000.00) Dollars, on the life of their said Father, in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, in equal proportions, or ($750.00) Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars each. That the Estate then of each of said three minors will amount to Seventeen Hundred and Fifty ($1750.00) Dollars, or about Five Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars. That there is no one to administer their said estate; that they are without a Tutor, and it is absolutely necessary that a Tutor shall be appointed and qualified, to collect the life policy aforesaid, or there is danger of its being lost.
Your Petitioner represents that there is no relative of the children who is able to give the security necessary under the law for the administration of the minors Estate. But your Petitioner, by reason of his affection for his brothers and sisters, his co-heirs, and the care of their estate falling naturally upon Petitioner, he is willing to assume all the responsibilities imposed on him by law as their Tutor, but is unwilling and unable to obtain the security for his bond as Tutor, and after canvassing the neighborhood, he finds that it is absolutely impossible to get any one to take the Tutorship of the said minors and give the security required. He therefor prays that Your Honor will order a family meeting to be composed of the relatives, and friends in default of relatives, of the said minors, to be convoked before R. A. Young, Clerk of the Fifth District Court, and Ex-Officio Recorder and Notary, for the purposes of:
1st. Naming a Tutor for said Minors, and also an Under-Tutor. and 2nd. For determining whether, in case they are satisfied that no one will accept appointment and give the bond, the Tutor recommended by them, shall be absolved from the requirement of giving the security as required generally under the law.
Petitioner further prays for all orders and decrees necessary in the premises, for costs and general relief.
