Merrill v. Merrill

George W. Merrill petitioned the county court of Dodge county for the appointment of a guardian of the person and estate of his aged father, on the ground that he was incompetent to manage his property and by excessive drinking and debauchery was wasting his estate so as to endanger his support. After a full hearing in that court the *396petition was denied and the petitioner appealed to the circuit court, where the case was heard on the evidence taken in the county court and the order of the county court was affirmed. From the judgment of affirmance the petitioner appeals to this court.
