Bohannon v. Combs
Supreme Court of Missouri
Appeal from Pettis Circuit Court. — Hon. J. P. Strother, Judge. The conveyances under which defendants claim are not fraudulent.

She surrendered this to her husband’s creditors, and received the lands conveyed to her as a fair equivalent. This was a valuable consideration.
