Scope and Content

From the Collection: The Cass County Trust Case Files span from a case started in 1917, to a case started in 1942, and ending 1969. The files are part of the Cass County Civil Court case files, but were likely stored separately due to their size, thus this collection is not a complete set of Trust files produced by the court. Researchers searching for trusts should consult the indexes of the Cass County Civil Court Case files held in the archive’s collections. The Archives hold the Cass County Civil Court Cases from the 1870s to 1965 (Mss 339, and Mss 404). All court case files after 1965 are still with the courthouse.

The Trust files are organized by case number assigned by the court. A large number of the trusts appear to be part of a larger case involving the dissolution of the Northern and Dakota Trust Company in January 1938. A sub-series of client files related to the Northern and Dakota Trust Company are filed in their original order. Two large Northern and Dakota Trust ledgers are shelved with Cass County District Court ledger collection, and are likely a part of this trust case.
