Famous land case settled in Jasper County Missouri
A land deal closed for 8900 dollars transferring 100 acres of the Kirby farm west of Presper to Geo Rex, with quit claims from Kirby and his lawyers to avoid further litigation. The 135 acres remain with A Z Riley. The case, long a noted dispute, traces to the Rankin family and the Kirby line, culminating in Rex securing the valuable portion including Walnut Grove. A local note on a Carl Junction ball game followed.
