Quieting Title On South West Quarter Land in Marion County
Court action seeks to quiet plaintiff’s title to the South West Quarter of the South East Quarter of Section Ten in Township Seventy-seven, Range Eighteen, Marion County Iowa. It details a chain of transfers from Gerrit G. Van der West to Henry Hospers and others through 1908 with numerous misdescriptions and omissions that cloud title and asks for corrective conveyances and a final decree confirming fee simple ownership. The petition notes that several deeds omit parts of the description and that the plat and field notes were never recorded, creating a cloud on the plaintiff’s title. It requires defendants to appear by September Term 1908 or risk default and judgment.
