The problem was that Fannie was no where to be found and the summons was left with her husband Charles. The sheriff made no comment about Fannie's whereabouts, just that she could not be found in Hancock County.
Where was Fannie Neill in February of 1908? Was she missing? Why didn't she come to the door?
Do you always look at the summons that appear in the court records you utilize? Are there clues or stories hiding in those seemingly innocuous slips of paper?
Stay tuned. There's more to this story...I think.
