Kook to Your Titles |!

1T may not be generally known that the title to
L large portion Of the Real Estate in Wood
County is defectve-but such is the fact, These
defects arise from misdescription OF the prop
eTty, informal execution and acknowledgment
of con reyances, unrecOrded Deeds tax sales and
titles, judgment liens, Irregularities in sales under
execution, mortgages, &c. -H,f >n''.. p
Hundreds of mortgages and other membranes
upon lands remain uncanceted on the records,
although the debts they were given 10 secure, have
probably been paid. Thousands of tax sales have
been made, incumbering lauds and lots, many of
which have been redeemed but not cancelled, but
large number still exist valid liens on the prop
erty sold. Over 1900 of the deeds on our county
records are either erroneousIy executed, or
wrongly recorded-most Of the errors undoubtedly
occur in the making of the deeds, but many in the
recording of them. .aa
In view of these facts, we preparing, and
have nearly completed, at great expense and inn
mense labor, complete abstract of the title To
every tract of land and town lot in the county,
giving the original entries and purchases from tie
State and United States, date of the deeds, kind
OF conveyance, consideration, full description Of
the land, where deed executed, date of record,
book and page where recorded, number Of wit
nesses, number of seals, amount of revenue stamp,
&c.
So complete will these Abstracts be-, that if
every book in the Recorders Office were destroyed
an accurate description of every instrument re.
corded there, could be procured from our office.
With these facilities we are prepared, on the
shortest notice, to give all necessary information,
and written abstracts Of tite at reasonable prices
to all who may desire the same.
With these Abstracts before us, We also have
facilities for preparing cOnyeyanees Of every de-
scription, unequalled by any other Office inlthe
county, and which will be made out by us at usual
rates. We will giyespeciai attention 10 remedying
defects in titles, removing incu nlbrances procuring
lost deeds, getting original patent or copies OF
same, and perfecting titles generally. s'f
Every owner of Real Estate should know the
full history of his title to same and that it is cor
recty placed ON the record; and every prudent
man will refuse TO buy any lands or lots without
first being fully satisfied that the title TO same is
perfect. clear and unimcumbered and these facts
can be ascertained from us at a small expense.
Our charges will be as follows: "a
For an examination of the title to a lot or tract
of land with verbal opinion on same, from 81 to
IS, according TO value and number Of transfers. :
For a full abstract Of the title, with written
opinion on same, So aud over according 10 nliIbber

out same. To '>d1l4Tf Z
A reasonable deduction win be made 10 appli.
