Allen v. Allen

Appellee-plaintiff is the father of appellant-defendant. The plaintiff was the record owner of a tract of land known as the River Place, upon which he lived and farmed. The defendant was raised there and for a time after his marriage, he and his wife lived on the homestead with the plaintiff and his wife before defendants mother died. The defendant and his then wife, Virginia, a defendant in the district court but not a party to this appeal, wanted a place of their own and found a tract of land to buy, known as the Haptonstall Place. However, it was not a large enough economic unit to qualify for a Farmers Home Administration loan for its purchase.
