Garrison v. Owens

Moss, Chief Justice.

Booker T. Garrison, on August 20, 1960, obtained a default judgment against Lillie R. Owens, a respondent herein, and Tony Owens, her husband. At the time the judgment was obtained, Lillie R. Owens and Tony Owens jointly owned and possessed a tract of land containing 172 acres, more or less, such being subject to a mortgage indebtedness in favor of the Farmers Home Administration. It appears that Tony Owens, on June 24, 1964, conveyed his undivided interest in said land to Lillie R. Owens, thus making the respondent the owner of the full fee simple title thereto.
