     He was born on 26 August 1826 at Richmond Hill, York County, Ontario, Canada.9,10,3,4,11,6,12 Robert married Mary Jane Smith on 4 October 1848.13,14,15,4,5 Robert married Mary Ann Smith on 13 April 1889 at Delaware County, Iowa, USA.4,8,6
     Robert Raymond died on 17 March 1913 at Iowa, USA, at age 89.10,12
     Robert Raymond was buried at Oakwood Cemetery, Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa, USA.10,12
     Robert and Mary Jane Raymond appeared on the 1861 United Province of Canada Census of Vaughan Twp., York County, Canada West, enumerated 13 January 1861. Robert was described as an innkeeper. Their children, Ann Jane, Mary Elizabeth, James C., Cordelia K., Emily Maria and Francis Amelia, were listed as living with them. He was a U. Presybyterian, and she was a Baptist, while all of the children were Church of England.5
     Robert and Mary J Raymond appeared on the 1871 Canadian Census of Vaughan Twp., York County, Ontario, enumerated 2 April 1871. Robert was described as a hotel keeper. Their children, Elizabeth, James, Catherine, Emmely and Frances, were listed as living with them. As were three servants and Northrup J. Peck, a dentist who would later marry their daughter, Elizabeth.11 Robert Raymond immigrated in 1872 to USA from Canada.6
     Robert and Mary J Raymond appeared on the 1880 U.S. Federal Census of Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa, enumerated 11 June 1880, described as a Hotel Keeper and she was a Laud(ry) Lady. Their children: Kate and Frances, were listed as living with them. As were their son-in-law and daughter, Elizabeth Peck and Northrup J. Peck.15
     Robert and Mary M. Raymond appeared on the 1900 U.S. Federal Census of Manchester, Delaware County, Iowa, enumerated 18 June 1900, described as a farmer.6
     Robert Raymond, of Independence, Iowa, her surviving father, was referenced, but not by name, in the obituary of Kate Rayond Smith who died 26 February 1910.16
     Mary Ann and Robert Raymond appeared on the 1910 U.S. Federal Census of Independence, Washington Twp., Buchanan County, Iowa, enumerated 30 April 1910, described as head of the household, with her own income. They had been married for 18 years, and it was Robert's second marriage. His grand-daughter, Helen Grant was included in the household.
     On the census image he was originally listed as husband of Mary Ann Raymond who was enumerated on the last line of the previous page. This was struck out and Head was written in. However, since both Mary Ann and Robert were shown as being married 18 years, I believe they were in one household. Mary Ann had given birth to one child that was not living at the time of the census.4

     He was born on 18 February 1837 at USA.1,2
     Only the head of the household was named in the 1840 census, with the number of household members broken out by age and gender groupings. John appears to have been included in this statistical breakout of the household of James Smith, within the "Free White Persons - Males - Under 5" grouping.3
     John Smith appeared on the 1851 Canadian Census of Collingwood Twp., Grey County, Canada West in the household of his parents, James and Jane Smith.4,2
     John Smith was referenced in the following: Liz Harmer has provided me a PDF file containing an image of a type written transcription of a letter from James Smith to T. J. Rorke. I believe it was written between about April 1 and April 4, 1882 based upon internal references to "last Friday 31st" and to a continuation of the letter on April 5th. (Note that I need to find the above PDF to confirm wheter the spelling errors in this letter are in the transcription, or my retyping it into a text file.) Thomas Jacob Rorke may have been the T. J. Rorke, the recipient of this letter.

     T.J. Rorke
     Heathcote, Ont.
     Winnebago Station,

     Winnebago County, Ill.                     1882
     Dear Friends:
     It is long since I wrote to you, though often thought and talked about you, but the things of this world have caused me much trouble and vexation. I have some mortgages hundred of miles away in the west, and one particular that the man that mortgaged his farm to me sold it, the farm, to another man, when interest was due it was not sent to me. How many times I wrote to inquire about it, I cannot tell you, for I kept no count, but continued to get no answer, until I wrote and threatened to close the mortgage, then the man wrote to me informing me himself and and (sic) family were sick and had spent all the money he intended to pay me with, and begged that I would wait until he got better and able to pay me. I granted this request I believe him to be honest. The cause I take mortgage hundreds of miles west I get two percent interest more than I can get in Illinois.
     William was 21 years of age the second of last February, his two sisters and brother sold their interest in the little farm to me, so that I owned three parts of it and William one. They sold to me for five hundred dollars each. Mrs. Eterny sold the three shares for 700 dollars more than I gave for them. William sold his share at the same rate. I had 600 dollars of pension money and rent belonging to Wm. The land just sold for three thousand dollars. I gave William all the three shares sold for more than they cost me, which was 700 dollars. That and his share of the place with the 800 cash that I had saved with rent and pension, made for him to begin with twenty-three hundred dollars. William has bought 80 acres of land with a good house on it and good out buildings and 10 acres of hog pasture fenced in with three boards and one wire.
     Will’s brother Ed is married, and William says he has gt a clever, religious wife and is doing well. My son John, living 8 miles from them and is also doing well, has sent me word that he is coming to see us this spring wen he gets his crops put in this spring. My son Rob has bought his partner out and is doing considerable business. He has three hired hands besides his son. He is so engaged with the things of this world he has no time to prepare for the next. Edward and his family are well and doing well. His boys are steady, good workers and stout, strong-built, compared with their father. He has mad over $6000 since he went to the place he is on. In buying land and building he is only owing $500, and he says he can pay that off in three months.
     We hav small-pox in this place. It has only been in one house as yet. There has been much sickness and many deaths in this part since you were here; people of all ages are constantly dropping off.
     Thomas White informed us of Mr. Dale’s death and Mr. and Mrs. Gibson.
     One of our neighbors died last night, over 80 years of age. We have got a grain elevator since you were here, also several good houses put up. Property is rising. Farms handy to this place have been sold for $75.00 per acre, and some are asking a hundred, and I believe they will soon get their price.
     Last Friday, 31st, the glass on the north side of my neighbor’s house stood at 80 degrees at five o’clock in the evening. People are puttin (sic) in their garden seeds and farmers are plowing to put in their crops.
     I feel a want of William to do my jobbing.
     April 5th. Cold, wet weather. Late spring.
     I believe my son John has more correct views of the mystery of the Gospel than any child I’ve got. 1 Timothy, 3rd, 16th. I have been informed that my son Rob is so engaged with the things f this world that  he has no time to prepare for the next, but he intends to be safe, so he has come out a Universalist. We are told in the Word of Life tha tif the Gospel be hid it is hid from them that are lost, whom the God of this world hath blinded their eyes.Jacob and Esau were brothers. The one was taken and the other left. Two thieves were crucified with Jesus, the one was taken and the other left. God is a Sovereign and has an unquestionable right to do what he will with His own. As many as are led by the Spirit of God are the Sons of God, Romans 8, 7th, and iic sons, then heirs; whom God liveth he liveth unto the end he changeth not, if they violate his statues and disregard his righteous laws then he says he will visit their transgressions with the rod and their iniquities with stripes, but His loving Kindness he will not take from them nor suffer his faithfulness to fail.
     I am blessed with good health, but nor free from rheumatic pains. Few people have more reason to be thankful to the giver of all good than I have. My wants are well supplied. The their that was crucified with my Lord and Savior, whose soul is now in the realms of bliss, has not more reason to be thankful than I have. I thank the Lord that it is written in the Word of Truth that where sin abounds Grace superabounds.
     Remember me to all inquiring friends. My memory is so poor that I can hardly think on anything. Real estate is less trouble than money in attending to than (sic) money, every large amount of property in this state is not free from incumbrance when the records are examined; hence the necessity of an abstract to be sure the title of the property you mortgage is good.
     From your well wisher, both for time and Eternity,
     (siged) James Smith

     Please overlook all blunders and mistakes.5

     She was born in January 1845 at the Elham registration district, Kent, England.1,3,4,5,2,6,7 Tamison married Robert Hill Smith on 11 March 1863 at York County, Canada West, United Province of Canada.1,2,3,4,5,7
     Tamison Holladay died on 2 February 1910 at Contra Costa County, California, USA, at age 65.1,3,8
     Tamison Holladay was buried at Oak View Memorial Park, Antioch, Contra Costa County, California, USA.3
     Her name was recorded as Tamason Holladay on her birth registration.6 She immigrated in 1845 to USA from England.5
     Robt and Tamsen Smith appeared on the 1870 U.S. Federal Census of Rockford, Winnebago County, Illinois, Ward 3, enumerated 5 September 1870, described as a butcher. Their children: Henry and Jennie, were listed as living with them.7
     R. H. and Tamison Smith appeared on the 1880 U.S. Federal Census of Manchester, Delaware County, Iowa, enumerated 3 June 1880, described as a butcher. Their children: Henry M., Jennie M. and Mertie, were listed as living with them. As was John H Smith.4
     Robert H. and Tamison Smith appeared on the 1884|1885 State Census of Manchester, Delaware County, Iowa, enumerated in 1884 or 1885, described as a butcher. Their children Henry, Jennie, Mertie and Libbie were listed as living with them.9
     Robert H. and Tamisan Smith appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Antioch, Contra Costa County, California, enumerated 19 June 1900, described as "Elerts? Meat market.". Their daughter, Libbie, was listed as living with them. Tamison had had 3 children, 2 of whom were living at the time of the census. She had come to the US from England in 1845. They had been married for 37 years.5
     Research notes (19 June 1900):
According to the 1880 census, Robert H Smith had three children:

Henry M (1864 - ) born in Canada

Jennie M (1866 - ) born in Illinois

Mertie (1874 - ) born in Iowa


The 1885 Iowa State census shows four children:

Henry M (Abt 1865 - ) born in Canada

Jennie M (Abt 1867 - ) born in Illinois

Mertie (Abt 1875 - ) born in Delaware County, Iowa

Libbie (Abt 1882 - ) born in Delaware County, Iowa


According to the 1900 census, Robert's wife, Tamison was the mother of three children, with two still living. Only Libie (born Aug 1881 in Iowa) remained at home.

Since the 1885 census lists four children, perhaps Henry M had a different mother, but the 1900 census indicates that Robert H and Tamison were married about 1863, before Henry was born.4,5,9

     Tamison Smith was referenced, but not by name, in the obituary of her husband, Robert H. Smith, who died 13 April 1907.10

Married in Chicago Tuesday at High Noon -- A Pretty Wedding
At high noon on Tuesday occurred the marriage of Mr. Edward Smith, Jr., of this place, to Miss Gertrude Dawson of Chicago, at the home of the latter's parents at 2086 Gladys Avenue.

Rev. T. R. White performed the ceremony, which was witnessed only by the near relatives of the two families.

The house was artistically decorated for the occasion, the bridal party standing in front of a mantle banked with palms, asparagus ferns and carnations.

The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of white brittania mull with lace trimmings and carried a boguet (sic) of bridel (sic) roses.

Immediately following the ceremony, a delightful luncheon of several courses was served.

The bride is a prominent member of the Presbyterian church and for the past several years has been a most successful teacher in the intermediate department of the high school here. She is a young lady who is much admired for her strength of character and goodness of heart and has a large following of friends.

The groom is one of the most prosperous and best known young men in the village, whose industrious habits and sterling worth have won for him much deserved praise.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith will return to Winnebago Saturday, and in a short time will commence housekeeping in a fine new home which has just been completed for them.

STOLE A MARCH
The many friends of Edward Smith were agreeably surprised to hear of his marriage which was solomized at the home of the bride, Miss Alice Dawson in Chicago last Thursday. Their marriage was strictly on the q.t. order and even his most intimate friends did not suspect anything until they saw an article announcing their marriage in the Chicago papers.

Mr. Smith is one of our most popular young men of the village and the bride is equally as well known, having taught to the public school of this place for several years.

The newly married couple left at once for an extended Eastern and Canadian trip after which they will make their home at the residence of the groom in the village. The REFLECTOR extends congratulations.

Note (Rick Moffat) - Sept 7, 1905 was a Thursday, supporting the wedding data given by other sources.15

     The following obituary appeared in a clipping in one volume of the series We Remember, (2002), originally published circa 8 May 1904 :
Mrs. Edward Smith, Jr., departed this life at her home in the village last Saturday evening, May 7, at 5:45 o'clock. She had been rapidly failing for the past two weeks and while it had been known for some time that life with we was at the ebb, yet her death was a great shock to the community.

Mrs. Smith's death was the result of a complication of diseases, and her illness dates back a year ago last March. She had many ups and downs during this time and was a great sufferer but bore it all with courage, cheerfulness and true Christian fortitude. She was conscious up to a few hours before the end.

Miss Gertrude Dawson was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, March 12, 1865, and was thus aged 39 years, 1 month and 25 days. The family moved to Illinois when she was a young girl and Miss Dawson attended and graduated from the Rockford High School. She taught School in various parts of the state for 16 years, the last 7 being spent in the Winnebago schools, where she had charge of the Intermediate department. On July 8, 1902, she was married at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hance, in Chicago, to Edward Smith, Jr., and has since been really one of us. Surviving her are , besides the husband, her mother, step-father and three sisters, Mrs. Frank Luther and Mrs. Lewis Richardson of Chicago, and Miss Alice Dawson of Winnebago.

Mrs. Smith was a member of the Presbyterian church and previous to her affliction was not only actively identified with the work of the curch but took a prominent part in the affairs of the Christian Endeavor society. As a school teacher she was unusually successful, and her name is a household word in many homes throughout the community. She was blessed with a sweet and lovable disposition, and her untimely death is a sad blow to the relatives and large circle of friends.

Funeral services were held last Monday afternoon; 1:30 from the house and 2 o'clock from the Presbyterian church. The services were largely attended; the teachers and pupils of the Winnebago school attending in a body. Rev. T. R. White officiated, and using the words, "To Die is Gain," for his text paid an eloquent tribute to the memory and pure Christian life of the deceased. Several beautiful selections were rendered by Mesdames Newton and Mellen, and the floral tributes, many being from former pupils, were unusually numerous.

Interment was in the Winnebago cemetery and the pall bearers were Messrs. Marien Watson, Joseph Love, Hugh McMichael, Jr., Tom Smith, Hugh Parsons and Will White.11

STOLE A MARCH
The many friends of Edward Smith were agreeably surprised to hear of his marriage which was solomized at the home of the bride, Miss Alice Dawson in Chicago last Thursday. Their marriage was strictly on the q.t. order and even his most intimate friends did not suspect anything until they saw an article announcing their marriage in the Chicago papers.

Mr. Smith is one of our most popular young men of the village and the bride is equally as well known, having taught to the public school of this place for several years.

The newly married couple left at once for an extended Eastern and Canadian trip after which they will make their home at the residence of the groom in the village. The REFLECTOR extends congratulations.

Note (Rick Moffat) - Sept 7, 1905 was a Thursday, supporting the wedding data given by other sources.16

     The following article appeared in the Minneapolis, Minnesota Star Tribune, 7 October 1898 :
SOMETHING OF A SENSATION
     Ald. Lloyd, Ninth Ward, Sued for the Modest Sum of $10,000.
     A sensation has come to light in the filing of a complaint and answer in the district court, which concerns the families; of William Jamieson and Ald. Marshall C. Lloyd, Ninth ward.
     The former states in his complaint that the defendant is a brother of Mrs. Jamieson. For some timer he charges, Lloyd has so illtreated (sic) his wife that she has become ill and weak, and has just cause for a divorce. About May 21, 1897, Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson took Mrs. Lloyd to live with them, and she remained with them until the following January, at which time Lloyd induced her to go back to him. At that time he used his influence over her it is alleged and induced her to sign a paper, in which she alleged that while she was with them Jamieson wanted her to conspire with him to secure control of the White Manufacturing Co., a business operated by Lloyd, and when he so secured control he would take care of her.
     This paper, it is alleged, Lloyd showed to many people, and used it in an endeavor to have plaintiff discharged from his position in the office of the city assessor. Further, it is charged that Lloyd went to the assessor, called Jamieson a thief and a drunkard. He also asserted that he wanted him discharged. He also asserted that he would pursue him in this life and would find some means to follow him in the next until he had gained his ends. For all this, Jamieson asks for a $10,000 damages from the alderman.
     Lloyd flies an answer in which he admits everything with qualifications. He says he has the paper, and that it was made without his connivance. He did say he was a drinker, which was true. He dill not intend to charge him with being a thief, but did charge that while he was in his employ the hooks were so kept as to make it appear that the White Manufacturing Co. was operating at it loss, when in fact it was making money. This he states is true and he will stand prepared to prove it. On these issues the family trouble will be tried in the courts.23

     The following article appeared in the Minneapolis, Minnesota Star Tribune, 23 October 1898 :
Marital Bonds Severed.
     Emma Lloyd was granted a divorce from Ald. Marshall B. Lloyd yesterday by Judge Johnson. The defendant was placed on the stand for cross-examination under the statute, and upon his evidence the decision was made. The case is interesting, coming so soon after the Jameson-Lloyd libel case, in which Mrs. Lloyd was a witness on behalf of her husband.15

     Marshall B. and Margaret I. Lloyd appeared on the 1910 U.S. Federal Census of Menominee, Menominee County, Michigan, Ward 4, enumerated 27 April 1910, described as President of a (illegible) Factory. His son Frank C. Lloyd was listed as living with them. Adopted. . They had been married for 11 years, with no biological children. This was incorrectly shown as Marshall's first marriage.8
     The following article appeared in the Green Bay, Wisconsin Green Bay Press-Gazette, 30 April 1920 :
RICH MANUFACTURER DIVORCED FROM WIFE
     MARINETTE, Wis., April 30.--Marshall B. Lloyd, wealthy manufacturer and former mayor of Menominee, Mich., was granted a divorce from his wife by Judge O'Brien of the circuit court Wednesday. It was a default case, Mr. Lloyd claiming that his wife deserted him three years ago. She made no appearance. Mr. Lloyd recently sold his patent fibre furniture machine to English capitalists for $1,500,000. Some years ago he sold a patent for making seamless steel tubing for a consideration in the millions.18

     The following obituary appeared in the newspaper the Windsor Star published in Windsor, Ontario 11 August 1927:
RICH INVENTOR IS DEAD IN MICHIGAN
     Marshall B. Lloyd Ended Hand Weaving With Own Device
     MENOMINEE, Mich., Aug. 11--After hovering near death for nearly a week, Marshall B. Lloyd. 69, millionaire inventor, whose inventions revolutionized three industries, died at his home in Menominee yesterday.
     The invention by Lloyd of a wicker weaving loom changed the hand weaving methods that had been used since Biblical times. His invention weaved a baby carriage in 18 minutes, 30 times faster than the hand process and made the factory at Menominee the largest baby carriage plant in the world.
     A total of 200 inventions are credited to Lloyd. They include the Lloyd oxy-acetylene method of producing seamless steel tubing and a machine for weaving bed springs with which he founded his fortune, and the Lloyd Manufacturing Company, of Menominee.
     His first invention was a spear with which he captured the fish he peddled on the streets of Meaford, Ontario, in his younger days. Mr. Lloyd's falling health was attributed to his efforts in business of his home town in building and maintaining a department store and theatre with more than $1,000,000 invested.
     Two sisters, Mrs. C. A. Farrar and Mrs. William Jamieson, reside at Meaford.21


     The following article appeared in the Marshfield, Wisconsin Marshfield News-Herald, 29 May 1928 :
Suit For $1,000,000 Will Test Validity Of Divorce
     Menominee, Mich. (AP) --A wife's half share in the estate of the man to whom she was married through the struggling years of his career to be cast aside when he achieved success and wealth was the claim of Margaret Isadora Lloyd of Los Angeles, California against the estate of Marshall Burns Lloyd, of Menominee.
     Divorced April 27, 1920 on grounds of desertion, the Los Angeles woman sought to establish her claim to $1,000,000 of the estate of the inventor, manufacturer, and philanthropist by attacking the validity of the divorce. This she did, in a chancery hearing before. Circuit Judge Frank Bell, in circuit court here May 7 and 8, her suit being contested by Lloyd's third wife, Mrs. Henrietta Lloyd, and other heirs and executors , who contended that the plaintiff was debarred from starting suit by the lapse of eight years and maintained the divorce was legal.
     Lloyd, over whose $2,000,000 fortune the legal battle was waged by an imposing array of counsel, died in August 1927. Inventor of a score of devices, he achieved his greatest fame and wealth through the Lloyd loom which revolutionized the weaving business which theretofore had been done by hand, and earned for him the title of "baby carriage king" through the manufacture of baby carriages through the new process in his Menominee plant which he later sold.
     Endowed City
     His philanthropy was largely confined to Menominee where he came in 1900 as a struggling inventor, and upon his death was found he left to the city the bulk of his fortune for a clinic to care for the physical ills of its residents. His will made no mention of his second wife, cut off with a dollar, his estranged adopted son, and left his third wife, Mrs. Henrietta Lloyd, $300,000 through an ante nuptial agreement.
     A large department store, motion picture theater and community building stand as monuments to his generosity.
     But in bringing the suit, Mrs. Margaret Lloyd claimed that the generosity was confined to the community, Her counsel pictured her as having been wife and helper to Marshall Burns Lloyd for 16 years, to be ordered from their beautiful Menominee home and then divorced illegally without being notified and finally offered a settlement of her dower rights for $1 which she refused.
     Lloyd whose first wife, Emma Croskill Lloyd had divorced him in Minneapolis where he formerly lived, obtained a decree from Judge P. H. O'Brien, April 27, 20, charging desertion.
     Charged Secrete (sic) Love Affair
     Her attorneys contended that she did not desert but was sent away from home, two years before Lloyd sued for divorce. An impasse had been reached she contended, when she discovered an affair Lloyd is alleged to have had with a stenographer in the plants.
     The divorce was attacked on the grounds Mrs. Lloyd was not properly served with notice of the suit, and counsel further contended that the decree was void for want of jurisdiction and for failure to have a date on the order for publication. A fraud was perpetrated upon the court by Lloyd, the woman's counsel suggested, when he asked for a divorce charging desertion.
     The executors, Mrs. Henrietta Lloyd, the Detroit Trust company and Isaac B. Lipson, Chicago attorney and the heirs fought the suit on several grounds. They contended she was stopped from contesting the validity of the divorce by the lapse of eight years, and that the divorce was not invalidated by any error in the record if there were any.
     The defense had charged in its answer that Mrs. Lloyd's departure from Menominee was because of her misconduct, but this allegation was ordered expunged when no proof was offered. Mrs. Margaret Lloyd who has been living with relatives in Los Angeles was the principal witness for her side. Mrs. Henrietta Lloyd, who married the inventor April 11, 1922 in New York City, after a brief courtship following their meeting at Palm Beach where she managed a gift shop, testified briefly.24

     The following article appeared in the La Crosse, Wisconsin The La Crosse Tribune, 12 August 1928 :
RECORD INHERITANCE TAX IS COLLECTED FROM LLOYD ESTATE
     Menominee Manufacturer Leaves Over Million and a Half to Fifteen Heirs
     MENOMINEE, Mich The second largest inheritance tax ever paid In Menominee county, $27,321.24, less a discount of five percent for payment within a year of death, was paid Saturday by the estate of Marshall B. Lloyd, millionaire manufacturer of Menominee.
     The estate comprised $1,548,900 personal property and $0.1,101 real property, an inventory showed. Exemptions, expenses and other matters cut the taxable amount to $980,552.53.
     The heirs include 15 relatives beside the window, Mrs. Henrietta Lloyd.
     The Lloyd estate just a few months ago was the defendant in a million dollar lawsuit filed by the Menominee manufacturers divorced second wife, Margaret Isadora Lloyd, who claimed that amount was due here as his legal widow. She was awarded, however, only $25,000 and that in lieu of alimony. Plans to appeal the case have been announced by her attorneys.
     Funeral expenses for Mr. Lloyd totaled $30,698.93 and the expense of administrating his estate was $197.913.71, the inheritance abstract shows. Exempt from taxation was the Marshall Lloyd trust fund of $234,642.78, the foundation of the charitable institution which Mr. Lloyd provided for Menominee.
     All the heirs except the widow receive annuities and upon their deaths the entire estate will revert to the charitable fund, which is to be devoted to establishment of a clinic for medical analysis and care of the sick.
     Note that the Marshall B. Lloyd clinic was not build until 1949 due to material scarcity and the war. It was disolved in 1980.25

     The following article appeared in the Sheboygan, Wisconsin Sheboygan Press, 4 March 1930 :
Lloyd Estate Heirs Appear Before Court
     Demand Explanation On Reputed Dwindling Of Estate From Over Million To $350,000
     Menominee, Mich, ---- vp) - The heirs of Marshall Burns Lloyd, inventor and baby carriage manufacturer who died in 1027, were in court again today, this time de-mantling an explanation from Mrs. Henrietta Pollen Lloyd Merril, Milwaukee, and the Detroit Trust company, as to why the estate has reputedly dwindled from $1,617,000 to less than $350,000,
     Mrs. Merril (sic), Lloyd's third wife, obtained a widow's share of the estate after a sensational trial In 1928 when Margaret Isadora Lloyd, Los Angeles, his second wife, contested the will and maintained she had a legal right to the widow's share.
     Cyrus S. Lloyd, Los Angeles, brother of the manufacturer, yesterday charged that beneficiaries were not consulted in matters pertaining to the estate and said it was necessary to appeal to probate court for a hearing. The court set March 20 for the hearing.
     Lloyd with other heirs demanded a detailed accounting from Mrs. Merril (sic), co-executor, and the Trust company, trustees of the estate.
     The fortune ,according (sic) to statements filed in probate court here, started a toboggan when Margaret Lloyd won $25,000 back alimony in 1928. That case, the papers said, cost the estate more than $95,000. Trial expenses listed attorneys' fees of $35,000 for Isaac B. Kipson, Chicago; $18,700 for John O'Hara, Menominee; and $6,649 for G. Lester Field, Detroit. In addition, the attorneys were listed as having received $2,000 traveling expenses.
     In addition, the beneficiaries say, they want detailed information of other expenditures. They said the Detroit firm received $70,500 executor's fees when under Michigan laws they were entitled to but $17,000.26
