In 1899 J. Lee DuVal Purchased the property from B.J. DuVal at auction for
the price of $1635.00 on April 27th 1899. Below is our best transcription of
that deed. A few areas we could not decipher. The poor court house microfiche
copies will make you go blind. Scroll down and see if you can figure it out
from the original.
On this same day (and the very next deed in the book)...
The house was sold to M. A. Cogbill on April 27th 1899.
