The complainants in the case were Mary L. Stoddard, represented by her next friend Albert H. Stoddard; Mary Helen Stoddard and Isabelle Stoddard, John Irwin Stoddard and Henry Mongin Stoddard, “infants” [minors] under the age of 21, represented by Albert H. Stoddard also as their next friend. The defendants were the estate’s executors and trustees as listed above. A decree was issued authorizing the trustees to make the sale “a portion of the trust estate specified in the Complainants’ said bill of complaint” at public auction or private sale.
