§ 217. New trustee in place of one absent. Whenever any trustee
appointed under any authority conferred by any of the provisions of
articles three, four or five of this chapter, shall remove from and
continue to reside out of this state for one year, it shall be lawful
for the court which originally appointed such trustee, after giving
notice and an opportunity to the creditors to propose proper persons, to
appoint another person in the place of such trustee.
