Laughlin v. Hall

Plaintiffs quieting-title action brought against defendants claimed absolute and unqualified legal ownership of real property in Woodbury County, Iowa, described as: "The SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 28; The NW 1/4 of Section 21; The NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 21; The NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 20; The E 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of Section 16; The NW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 16; The SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 16; and 300.68 acres in Section 17, and 133.32 acres in Section 8, all in Township 86, North of Range 47, and all accretions thereto," by virtue of certain deeds, and by continuous possession thereof. In view of the fact he held a valid tax deed from Woodbury County, Iowa, to the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 28, Township 86, North, Range 47, his right thereto was not contested, and the court quieted title to plaintiff therein. No complaint is made of that judgment and thus it is not an issue herein.
