View Entry | 1883 | Coraw Acuff v. C. S. Cox, et al. and Halston Salt and Master Co. v. C. S. Cox et als. | Union | Land and Title Dispute |
Case file incomplete; brief only. In May, 1883 Acuff contracted with Cox to sell him a tract of land in Raccoon Valley containing about 130 acres. Price for the land was $800.00. Cox paid about $450.00. and executed a note for the remainder. At the time See ET Box 1871 as well - no deed or title was drawn as some surveying needed to be done. Cox became very ill and Acuff was advised to draw up a deed but kept the deed in his possession. Cox recovered and refused to acknowledge deed as was written. |
