The Racine and Mississippi Railroad Company Foreclosure Tale
A lengthy Wisconsin Illinois case details the Racine and Mississippi Railroad Company collapse, mortgage bonds, and consolidations. It outlines mortgages to Farmers Loan and Trust, second mortgage to Morris Jesup, and forced advances to finish lines to Freeport, with sales and decrees prior to 1866. The court orders payment of over one million dollars within 100 days or sale of the Illinois and Wisconsin portions in one parcel, via a master in chancery sale in Stephenson County.
