Nicholas v. Ward

November 15, 1929, D. A. Ward and Belle Ward, his wife, executed their note to L. D. Cannon in the amount of $600, and a mortgage, as security, on 160 acres of land in Fulton county, Arkansas, which constituted their homestead. Subsequent to the execution of the note and mortgage, L. D. Cannon died, and Oscar Cannon, his son, as owner, on December 1, 1941, instituted foreclosure proceedings, making D. A! Ward and Belle Ward defendants. In due course there was a decree in favor of Oscar Cannon, and the commissioner, appointed by the court, was ordered to sell the land January 10, 1942.
