Who Really Owns The Potomac Cabin In A 94 Cent Dispute
In Shepherdstown a 1951 tax bill for 94 cents led to a chaotic chain of ownership shadows. Ernest Brown sold to Charles Parsons then to John Lele. Egle paid 1952 taxes. The 1951 tax lien was bought by the sheriff for 94 cents, making the state owner, then Egle paid 1953 1954 1955 taxes. West Virginia moved to sell the cabin, Egle sold privately to Mervell Fulk, then a public auction saw Oscar Jones win the property for 10 dollars. Fulk’s deed is to nothing, yet Jones holds a proper deed. The case hinges on who legally owns the cabin.
