TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 11—“Henry Aten vs. the Presbyterian Church,” is the title of a unique lawsuit filed in the courts of Ohio.
Aten is a wealthy business man in Sandusky. He charges that the Church Council on April 17, 1898, dismissed himself and (his) family from the church, and that they (could not) enjoy worship or communion or in(struction) therefrom. Judge Smalley granted (tham an) injunction against the church.”

Cousin
Henry J.:
I
send to you the above slip cut from this morning’s Phila. Inquirer. As you are hunting up the Aten’s and their
history I thought this little article might interest you.
There is nothing new
about
here since I last wrote you a few days ago.
I suppose you have ere this rec’d my letter and the copies of Phila
Inquirer giving a report of the G.A.R. reunion—we are all well at this time. Hope you are all well. I send kind regards to you all. As you may wish to write to this Henry Aten
to find out about him—I will not write him.
He
seems to reside in Sandusky which is in Erie Co., Ohio
