There is a typographical error in this document.
This probate journal is from the December 1917 term of the County Court--18 December 1917. This date is not on the image and the page itself does not make it clear what date this order was made. I had to view a few pages before this one in order to find the precise date of the order. When making digital copies make certain that all relevent information is obtained.
The typographical error is fairly easy to catch. Any transcription of this item should not make any corrections. The Latin sic, in backets, can be used to indicate the error and a comment can be added if deemed necessary.

So ... where's the error? The only thing I see is an extra space in a word.
The error is that it indicates that "...is ordered John Michael Trautvetter be appointed administrator" of the estate of John Michael Trautvetter. It should have said Henry Trautvetter was appointed.
So the dead guy is administrating his own estate! LOL!
Yes Michael,you are correct.
