Entire Family In Court.

Long before daylight Thursday, Seneca county deputy
sheriffs in charge of two automobiles, visited the
Joseph Myers farm in Thompson township, and rounded up
the entire family, all members of which, except one boy
who is ill, being taken before the juvenile court in
Tiffin for a hearing on delinquency charges and
contributing to deliquency charges, says a Tiffin paper.
After the hearing which lasted several hours, the family
was sent back home and the county health commissioner
was directed to look after the child who is ill.

Numerous complaints against the family have been lodged
with the authorities recently, one of which is the
refusal of the children to attend school.

Mr. and Mrs. Myers have been married 28 years, during
which time they have become the parents of 17 children,
eleven of whom are living, the youngest being one year
of age.

The reason for the early trip of the officials to the
home was in order to gather up the family before the
members had scattered for the day as had occurred on
former attempts to take them to court.
