Waterloo East Side Land Claim Traces Back to 1867 Suit
A Waterloo legal history narrated over land rights: Isaac Carr original entry for government lot 4, 1842 patent, his 1853 assignment to Jonathan R. Pratt, and Charles D. Gray’s 1867 warranty deed. The courts ruled Pratt’s title valid, affirming a 1869 district court judgment and a swift supreme court affirmation.
