Keokuk State Bank v. Eckley

SACKETT, Judge.

Defendants, Dallas, Karen, and Scott Eckley, appeal from a judgment on a forcible entry and detainer action for the plaintiff, Keokuk Bank. The trial court granted the Keokuk Bank possession of Dallas and Karen Eckleys’ 27-acre homestead. They had purchased the property on contract from Downey in 1972. In 1981, Downey sold his vendor’s interest in the contract to the Keokuk Bank. Defendant Scott Eckley is the 18-year-old son of Dallas and Karen. Scott lived with his parents and maintained a hog operation on one and one-half acres of the 27-acre tract.
