Why The Deal Fell Thru tTE DIDN'T KNOW the exact acreage, for no survey had ever been made. The land had never been ab£radted; but the title he thought was good, for he had bought from old man Bill Jones, an honest man. Come to find out--his deed was not on record; he would file it at once. The patent he had never seen, but would look that up too. Here was aiKbld mortgage the clerk found "unsatisfied," ye it surely had been paid. The buyer wanted the farm if the title was good, but being from Missouri he had to be shown. So ttye deal fell thru. Moral: Get an ab&rad and be ready. McHenry County Ab&rad: Co.
