Box 8621, Case No. 2944
J. H. Wallace, Trustee of the Estate of A. J. Tanner
vs
A. J. Tanner, R. C. Tanner, Julia Putman, Maude Hollis

This case involved land belonging to A. J. Tanner, described thus:

The NE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 9, Township 15, Range 4 West;
NW ¼ of NW ¼ of same, except for a five-acre square block in the SE corner of 
said 40 acres;
N.W. ½ of the SW ¼ of the NW ¼ of S 9, T 15, R 4W;
Part of the SW ¼ of the NE ¼ of S 9, T 15, R 4W lying on the west side of Camp 
Creek, being 5 acres, more or less;
All of the NE ¼ of the SE ¼ of S 9, T 15, R 4W.

Also that part of the NE ¼ of the SE ¼ of S 9, T 15, R 4W lying on the west 
side of Camp Creek.

Also all of the SW ¼ of the SE ¼ of S 4, T 15, R 4W on the west side of Camp 
Creek "up to a rock standing below the springs – the spring Thomas Campbell 
once got his summer water from; and in the direction of another rock, standing, 
thence out back to the opposite side of said creek, including mills, shoals of 
said SW ¼ of the SE ¼ of S 4, T 15, R 4W,
all in T 15, R 4W, containing 150 acres [as well as] all of the coal, iron, and 
other minerals in, upon or under said lands, together with the mineral rights …"

A. J. TANNER lived in "Partridge and Cross Roads," today called simply 
Partridge Crossroads.  His wife was L. A. TANNER, his children listed in this 
case were R. C. TANNER, JULIA PUTMAN, and MAUDE HOLLIS.  According to the 
complaint, plaintiff accused A. J. Tanner of deeding the above land to his 
three children in order to prevent said land from being taken to satisfy 
debts.  A. J. Tanner also filed for bankruptcy, by which action the land on 
which his house stood, as well as personal property, would be exempt from 
debtors, also.  That land was described thus:

The NE ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 7, Township 15, Range 4W;
NE ¼ of the NW ¼ of S 8, T 15, R 4W.  (Another line of description repeated 
exactly this same information, 'ditto-ing' everything up to S, T, and R – which 
were written out the same as that above it.  I don't know why.)

A. J. Tanner at this time, listed the following personal property:
2 mules named Jack, worth $75, and Beck, $50
One mare Fannie, worth $25
Cows worth $20 each and calves worth $3 each
4 head of cows worth $15 each, and one cultivator $25
2 buggies worth $15 each
2 two-horse plows, $5 each
2 one-horse plow, $4 each.
