I happened to come across the following on Google Books, and thought I'd share. I also posted this over on the Lefever forum.
Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Second Circuit - LeFever v. Remington
It is the August 4, 1882 court case of "
Sarah LeFever and John A. Nichols versus E. Remington and Sons". The case also appears in Robert Elliott’s book "Uncle Dan LeFever – Master Gunmaker" (page 122), but is titled as "
LeFever and another v. E. Remington and Sons".
Sarah LeFever was DM LeFever’s wife, and I find it interesting that her name appears on the case, instead of his. I’m thinking that there was probably some legal reasoning behind her name being used.
