Life

Louch divided his land between his adopted son Umong, daughter Ibuuch, step-daughter Ross and Dirrablong who was "like a child" to him.^[2] A dispute over the ownership of the land occurred between Ibuuch, Dirrablong and their successors which resulted in litigation before Japanese Courts, as Palau was a part of the South Seas Mandate at the time, where it was ruled that, among others, lot number 1459 and 1460 were owned by Dirrablong and her descendants.^[2]
