Valdosta Times
April 11, 1908Contest Over Administration
Mr. William B. Shaw, of Bainbridge, representing his wife [Fannie Bullard Shaw], accompanied by his attorney, Judge W. H. Griffin, and Mr. Will Simms, went to Nashville yesterday to appear before the ordinary there and have Mr. Henry Bullard made administrator of the estate of Greene Bullard. Other heirs wanted Mr. Mallie Jones made administrator. Judge Griffin represented one side and Buie & Knight the other. Judge Patterson heard the arguments and later appointed the clerk of the superior court, probably as a compromise, or until the matter may be given further consideration.
