Deeds Forty-seven Years Old
Just Filed by Erie Railroad

PATERSON, Sept. 1S.-Deeds which
have been in existence since 1867
were placed on record yesterday by
the Erie railroad company, at the
office of John r. Morris, the county
registrar of deeds and mortgages
The documents, which are almost
ancient, conveyed the following prop
critics:
Thomas Gould, to the Paterson and
Newark Railroad Company. forty
four one-hundredths of an acre;
Thomas p. Speer, to the same, sixty
nine e-hundredths of an acre; John
Jennings, to the same, one tenth of
an acre; Moses Keasler, to the same,
forty-two one-hundredths of an acre;
Isaac Server, to the same, nine one
hundredths of an acre.
The deeds set forth that the prop
erty was located in "Passaic' town
ship" evidently meaning Acquacka-
nonck township, for that is where the
property lies. For the long period
from the time Of the sale of the prop
erty to the present, the deeds have
been in the ''morgue' of the Erie rail-
road, and Mr.. Morris has now been
asked to issue certified copies.
