Henry Carringer died intestate, and his probate papers are in Volume 5 of the Louisa County, Iowa Probate court records. D.W. Moore was appointed administrator for the estate. The last two documents in the probate case, dated 13 September 1881, are the the approval of the Administrator's Final Report and the Approval of the Guardian's Report:
Page 358:
In the Matter of the Estate
of Henry Carringer Decd } Adm^r Final
Report
And now on this day is examined by the
Court the final Report by D. Woods Moore Administrator of the Estate
of Henry Carringer deceased and the Same is by the Court found to be
in due form and correct and that the Same should be approved and
allowed.
It is therefore Ordered by the Court
that the Said report be and the Same hereby approved and allowed and
that the same be entered upon the complete Probate Records of this
Court.
And it appearing to the Satisfaction of
the Court that the Said Administrator has Strictly accounted for and
paid out all the assets in his hands belonging to Said Estate in
manner as required by Law and he Presenting his petitions for
discharge.
Ordered by the Court that the said D. Woods Moor be and he is hereby discharged as adm^r of the Estate of
Henry Carringer deceased and that his Sureties be exhonerated.
Volume 5, Page 426:
In the Matter of Guardianship
of Wilbert Carringer Minor } Guardians
Report Appr^d
And now on this day is examined by the
Court the annual report of Francis I. Moore Guardian of Wilbert
Carringer Minor heir of Geo C. Carringer Decd and the same is found
no ??? ???? and correct and that the Same should be approved &
allowed.
It is therefore Ordered by the Court
that the said report be and the same is hereby approved and allowed
and that the Same be entered upon the complete Probate Record Records
of this Court.
Needless to say, those two documents don't provide any new information other than the fact that the probate of the estate was completed satisfactorily.
The source citations for these two documents (using the "Probates, bound (FHL microfilm images)" source template in RootsMagic) are:
Louisa County, Iowa, District Court Record Books, Volume V, Page 49, Henry Carringer administration, dated 13 September 1881, approval of administrator's report; accessed on FHL US/CAN Microfilm 1,006,640.
Louisa County, Iowa, District Court Record Books, Volume V, Page 232, Henry Carringer administration, dated 13 September 1881, approval of guardian's report; accessed on FHL US/CAN Microfilm 1,006,640.
Wilbert H. Carringer was the son of George W. Carringer, who was deceased when his father Henry Carringer (1800-1879) died. Therefore, George's portion of the estate goes to his son, Wilbert. Because Wilbert is a minor and residing in Pennsylvania, Wilbert needed a guardian appointed to represent his interests.
The two documents above indicate that the reports were presented to and approved by the Probate Court, but those reports are not in this Probate Court clerk's records. There is probably a probate file in the Louisa County, Iowa Probate Court archives that contains these reports. I think I see Administrators Probate Records, Guardian Records, and Complete Sale of Real Estate Records in the Louisa County Probate Records, 1851-1937 set of microfilms in the Family History Library microfilms. The alternative is to go there, or engage a local researcher, to find and obtain them. I've never been to Iowa before!
