Lawton v. Lincoln

This is an action to foreclose a mortgage on real estate in Oklahoma county, brought by plaintiffs, J. B. Lawton and Lea Lawton, against defendants, J. H. Lincoln, Esther E. Lincoln, Ralph R.

It denied foreclosure, and rendered judgment in favor of the defendants for reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.…
