Honry ID. Hondrickson's Claim to Park
I.and Not food

Horny ID. Hondrickson's Claim TO Park
Iand Not Good.
Henry d. Hendrickson of New Ross,
Ind, is or was the claimant to the
ownership OF about 100 acres OF land
In and adjoining Brandywine Park,
but his claim is not sustained by the
county records and must therefore go
to join the list OF other CLAIMS to Will
mington land that have come to
naught
Mr.. Hendrickson was born in this city
about T6 years ago. He claims to be
the heir OF Henry Hendrickson.
who is alleged to have been the
owner of the estate 10 question. The
property begins at the mouth of Rattle
snake Run and extends along the
northerly side Of the run to point a
short distance beyond Delaware avenue.
Thence it proceeds northwesterly about
one-half mile and runs back to the
Brandywine following the creek course
to the place of beginning. This area
is nearly square and includes Brandy
wine Park land, the b. d o. station,
Forty Acres, and property of the Hart
mann X Fehrsnbach Brewing Co.
Mr.. Hendrickson's claim has been

who, after close search of the records,
has been unable to find either deed
or devise under which the caiman.
could have any rights 1t Is OF COURSE
necessary for the claimant to establish
his claim by proof of his own good
title and this has not been done.
10 support OF his claim Mr.. Hen.
erickson mas sent TO this city certi
fed copy of deed conveying a de
feasible estate from Henry Hendrick
son to Samuel Kirk. This was datet
about 1928. A defeasible estate is 6
provisional estate or an estate upor
| condition. In the present case thu
deed mentioned, which was duly founf
on record, was absolutely the onl,
thing on record in connection with thl
claim. The property was conveyed b,
Hendrickson to Kirk on condition tha
Kirk should pay Hendrickson certain
money in certain time. The deed con
tanned no recital whatever, as to how
the property came into Hendrickson'
| possession. Moreover, there is nj
record that Kirk ever made subse
quently any conveyance of the property
and the presumption is that the pro
vision under which he was to take it'll
was not fulfilled. In that event th
title would of course remain in Hen
drickson'H name.
Something was said by the cIaiman
about 80 year lease as having beef
given. on the property subsequent t,
the conveyance OF the defsasble estat
to Kirk. No such lease, however, ap
pears on record. 1t is possible that !
may have been among some OF tho oil
records that ars lost. The records a
they do exist do not disclose anything
on which the claimant, Hendrickson
can stand and make his claim good il
