Dorsey v. Temple

WALTHALL, Justice.

This suit was brought in trespass to try title. For convenience, and to follow the scheme of appellants’ brief, the parties will be designated as in the trial court. By the term “plaintiff” we shall refer to the appellant Ollie Mae Dorsey, she being the real party at interest, her husband, Lapoleon Dorsey, having been joined pro forma.

Plaintiff claims an undivided ¾2 interest in the 198.8-acre tract described in her petition. Her title, legal and equitable, to such interest, originated by inheritance, ¾2 from her mother, Amanda Miller, and ¼2 from her father, C. A. Miller.…
