WASHINGTON, ID. c.. December 10
A search of the records on file at the
Navy Department has brought to light
the fact that Grover Island. In Camden
county. Ga. is the property of the United
States. For nearly a hundred years the
title of the Island has been in doubt,
and this uncertain status was recently
brought to the attention Of Assistant
Secretary McAdoo. OF the Navy Depart
ment by Rufus 5. Lang. of Satilla Blur,
Ca. The records show that the island was
conveyed 10 the United States in 1913
by Josiah Tattnall and wife. but the title
was never asserted.
