Zoellner v. Zoellner

On May 12, 1880, Julius Zoellner died intestate, leaving Mina Zoellner, his widow, and three children by a former wife — two of whom are minors — his only heirs, him surviving. At the time of his death he was seized in fee of a half lot on Larned street, in Detroit, upon which was situated a two-story house, so constructed as to permit its being occupied by two families.

The value of the property is about $2800.
