Holding that seven out of eight
children should be allowed to carry
out their desire regarding the erec-
tion of a monument and headstone
for their parents, County Judge
William A. Gold today handed down
a decision in which he granted per-
mission for the removal of the
bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Winters from the lot of a daughter-
in-law, Mrs. Rofena Fredericks, In
Royalton Mountain Ridge cemetery
to Cold Springs cemetery.
A son, Neal A. Winters, 480 Pros-
pect street, Lockport, petitioned
the court several months ago for
permission to have the bodies
moved. In the application he was
Joined by a brother and five sisters,
Judge Gold said.
The application was opposed by
another son, Carl O. Winters, 31
Canton street, Tonawanda, and
Mrs. Rofena Fredericks. 318 Park
avenue, lockport, Mrs. Fredericks
Is the widow of Otto Fredericks,
who was a son of Mrs. Ida Winters
Died Several Yean Age.
Mrs. Winters died in 1929 and was
burled on a lot formerly earned by
tha lata Otto Fredericks in Moun-
tain Ridge cemetery, town of Roy-
alton. When Mr. Winters died In
1933 he was buried on the same lot
"It is apparent that a dispute
arose with reference to placing a
monument upon said lot," wrote
Judge Gold In his decision. "Peti-
tioner, and the other children Join-
ing with him, had apparently se-
lected a monument of a size and
nature to which said Rofena Fred-
erick, objected, she not only ob-
jected to the size of the monument,
but also desired to have placed
thereon the name, "Fredericks",
while petitioner, and the children
Joining with him. desired the name
"Winters' to be placed thereon.
"As a result of these dlfferences.
some of the children purchased a
cemetery lot at the Cold Springs'
cemetery and made provision for re-
moving the bodies ef their parents
to said lot. They Intend to place
thereon, a monument and markers
of their own choosing
seven of the eight children favor
the granting of this petition.
One Son Opposed
"A son, Carl C. Winters and said
Rofena Fredericks object to the re-
movel. They claim that it was the
desire of said Charles Winters and
Ida Winters to be buried upon this
lot. Said Rofena Fredericks claims
that said Charles Winters, prior to
his death had selected he type of
monument and headstones which
he desired to be placed upon said
lot. but had never purchased the
same and that she is willing to have
placed upon sald lot the type of
monument And headstones selected
by said Charles Winters."
Judge Gold cited that the pro-
ceedings were brought under section
89 of the Membership Corporation
Law and he pointed out that the
Court of Appeals had laid down a
rule which shouldl govern the course
In determining an Issue of this nat-
ure.
"I can safely assume that said
Charles Wintere and Ida Winters
had expressed a desire to be buried
on said cemetery lot, inasmuch as
they owned no lot, and,said Charles,
Winters had his wife, Ida Winters
burled there upon her death,"
pointed out the-judge. It would'
natural to believe that he In-
tended to be buried there himself."
Decide. With Majority.
'However, I feel that seven of the
eight children should be allowed to
carry out their desires to erect upon
said lot such monument and head-.
stones as they believe suitable in
memory of their father and mother.
provided the type and size of the
same meets with the approval of
the directors of the Royalton
Mountain Cemetery associa-
tion.
"If said Rofena Fredericks refuses
to allow the same to be done, I fee
that the seven children should be
allowed to have the bodies of their
parents removed to Cold Springs
cemetery where such monument an d
headstones can be placed, and in
which event , I hereby consent to
such removal."
Neal Winters was represented in
the action by Attorney Warner F.
Thompson of Thompson and
Thompson. Appearing for Carl
Winters and Mrs. Fredericks was
Attorney J. Carl Fogle of Fogle
Bedenkapp and Andrews.
