Beardshear v. Beardshear

Plaintiff in error was the defendant in the trial court in an action instituted by defendant in error as plaintiff. The parties will be referred to as they there appeared. The judgment awarded a partition and decreed an accounting of rents. Plaintiffs claim was based on a sheriffs deed obtained at an execution sale. This execution had been issued in a divorce action involving the plaintiff and William Beardshear who has since died and to whom we shall refer as William. Defendant was Williams second wife, the plaintiff his first wife, divorced from him. William had failed to pay alimony in the amount of $20.00 per week and the execution referred to had issued to enforce the unpaid installments.
