1Opinion of the Court
These appeals involve three consolidated actions to quiet title to an undivided 1/2 mineral interest in four residential lots in Mobile County. The dispute arose from a purported reservation of the mineral interest in the deeds from the developer of the subdivision.
The parties all initially share a common chain of title. On September 1, 1949, C.M. Cleveland and his wife, Elizabeth Cleveland, conveyed 386 acres of land to Ora Harwell. In the conveyance, the Clevelands reserved an undivided 1/2 interest in the oil, gas, and minerals. The Clevelands' mineral reservation is not in dispute.
