The Deathbed Confession.

The Deathbed Confession.
Lindus Cody (center), shown here in this 1923 photo taken in Cleveland with his brother Darwin (left) and his cousin Ida Nichols (right), was the person who started the chain of events leading to the 1882 Cody lawsuit. In about 1880, he had told his Aunt Margaret Cody that he witnessed Joseph Cody, on his deathbed in 1878, confess to having defrauded his brothers and sisters, and their descendants, out of their share of Philip Cody's 55-acre farm on Euclid Avenue. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph Collection
