Leach v. Edgerton

Under date of May 17,1924, J. Glenn Edger-ton (-whom-we will refer to as “Glenn”) signed a deed to his mother, Victoria I. Edgérton Bell' (formerly Estes, formerly Edgerton), for 160 acres of land in Fremont County. He gave the deed to the recorder the same day, and, after recording, it was sent to the grantee in Arkansas, where she was living.
