Schuman v. Person

Minor W. Millwee, Justice.

Appellee, Rosetta Person, a colored woman, purchased Lots 15 and 16, Block 3, Harrington’s Industrial Addition to the City of Little Bock, Arkansas, as a home in December, 1915. A part of her house is located on each of said lots. Appellee paid and was properly credited with payment of the general taxes on both lots from 1916 to 1949 except the 1945 taxes on Lot 16 in the amount of $1.47.

Appellant, Manie Schuman, purchased Lot 16 at the collector’s sale on November 14, 1946, for non-payment of the 1945 taxes and obtained a clerk’s deed to the lot on December 22, 1948.
