Cobb County Judge Orders Accounting of Civil War Store Owner's Estate
A Cobb County judge has ordered the longtime manager of Wildman’s Civil War surplus store to provide an accounting of the late owner's estate. This includes an explanation for the sale of Lockheed Martin Corp. stock that generated nearly $835,000.

The estate has been the subject of ongoing disputes and scrutiny, particularly regarding financial transactions and the management of assets. The judge's decision aims to ensure transparency in the handling of the estate's finances. Lyon has been instructed to clarify the details surrounding the stock sale and provide necessary documentation to the court. The situation highlights the complexities involved in managing estates, especially those with historical significance.
