Lee Ethridge and Jane Ethridge v. Hershel

This is a suit in equity to reform a deed of trust to include three parcels of land instead of one, on the ground of mutual
mistake of fact; to foreclose the reformed instrument, and cancel deeds to the other two parcels. Plaintiffs Lee Ethridge
and wife are the beneficiaries named in the deed of trust. Defendants Hershel and Myrtle Perryman, husband and wife, are grantors
of the deed of trust and of the deeds to the other two parcels. Defendant T. Victor Jeffries is the trustee named in the
deed of trust. Defendant Stacy Perryman, father of Hershel, is the grantee named in the deeds to the other two parcels. The
chancellor found the issues for plaintiffs and against defendants, decreed reformation on the ground of mutual mistake of
fact, and ordered the foreclosure of the reformed instrument. All parties defendant except the trustee appealed. We have jurisdiction because this case involves title to real estate. Article V, § 3, Constitution of Missouri,
1945.
