It appears to the satisfaction of the court that James H. Lunsford has departed this life intestate and John D. Roberson, having made application for letters of administration to issue him and the court being satisfied as to his claim, ordered that he be permitted to qualify whereupon the said John R. Roberson came into open court with J. B. Carson and B. A. Sinclair for his securities and entered into bond in the penal sum of one thousand dollars, conditioned and payable as the law directs which said bond is acknowledged in open court by all the parties thereby approved by court and ordered to be recorded. 

 

When the said John D. Roberson was then approved as such administrator and the court ordered that letters of administration issue to him which was accordingly done.
