Whetstone v. Baker

— From the complaint in this case, to which a demurrer was overruled, it appears that on the 11th day of November, 1876, Jonas Whetstone was the owner of the real estate in controversy, and that on said day, his wife, Jane Whetstone, joining, he conveyed said land to his son, Tunis Whetstone, the consideration ex-’ pressed in the deed being that Tunis Whetstone should pay to the grantors one-third of all crops raised on the land during the lifetime of his said father and mother, and, at their death, pay to their heirs $1,000. The land was at that time and is still of the value of $6,000.
