Neils Degn files suit against Gav W. Smith Mary Long Mary Maples widow Noah U D Long Jerry Maples William Long Long Onas H Nichole Angeline Nichols F H King and Rosa King and unknowns in Benton County Iowa. He claims fee simple title to Lot 6 Block 4 Donelan’s Addition Vinton and alleges ten years of open adverse possession. Foreclosure actions trace back to a Williams mortgage and a tax deed to F. He King and assignment to J D Mapes, with Adeline Bailey named as beneficiary, seeking quiet title free of Noah D Long’s claim.
The petition details that defendants other than FL, Kicy, and Rosas King have no adverse interest in the premises, deriving any claim only as survivors, heirs, or assigns of several named parties. Noah D. Long died intestate about 1880. Mary Long later married Jerry Maples. Wm. Long is his heir. F H King is identified as Frank H. King, previously decreed to hold title in trust for Adeline Bailey, which remains effective. The prayer asks for the plaintiff to be declared absolute owner in fee simple, enjoin defendants from adverse claims, and have title quieted. Default may be entered on Jan 16, 1905 if no defense is filed.

Plaintiffs allege lands were entered and patented to Jacob Denison, subsequently partitioned, and various transfers created a chain of title culminating in their open possession for over 10 years and that defendants’ interests, if any, are barred by statutes of limitation.
The court warns defendants to appear and defend by January 16, 1905 or default will be entered and judgment granted to the plaintiff Frep Wyckoff attorney. The case seeks to declare the plaintiffs absolute owners of the lands in the district court at Vinton Iowa.
