certified copy of which deed is filed with
the Bill from Charles II. Fisher and wife,
a tract of land improved by two-story

Pennsylvania; the latter three also beir
adults and non-residents of Frederic
County, that said property is badly in ne,
of repair and is rapidly depreciating
value, and because of the fact that
whereabouts of two of the owners are
stated unknown, it is impossible for I

probation and the impossibility Of
division among the owners thereof withf
loss and damage, to have the same 3

ceeds arising therefrom after the paym
of all costs and expenses, divided amf
them according to their interests.
