Aunt Hannah Chard died Monday
afternoon after an illness of only three or
four days. Her health through the

Ferrel school house is built. The land
was bought of James Lafferty nearly a
quarter of a century ago, inc it has
always been understood by those who
remember the purchase that the district
paid one hundred dollars for it. Mr..
Lafferty was one of the trustees at the
time, and everybody in the neighborhood

however, that this was not the case, and
the deed, if it ever existed, has been lost
through the carelessness of some of the
district clerks who have held Office since.
The trustees at that time have all since
died, as also has Mr.. Richman, who sur
veyed the lot and is supposed to have
written the deed. John G.. Lafferty, one
of the heirs of the Lafferty estate, now
owns the tract of which the school lot

a motion was adopted directing the
Board Of Education to take necessary
steps to secure a legal title.
