from all incumbrances that I have good right, full power and lawful authority to
sell and convey the same in manner as aforesaid; that the said mortgagees and their
heirs and assigns shall by these presents at all times hereafter peaceably and quiet-
ly have and enjoy the said premises, and that I, the said mortgagor will, and my
heirs, executors and administrators shall warrant and defend the same to the said
mortgagees and their heirs and assigns forever against the lawful claims and demands
of all persons.
And for the consideration aforesaid I, NORMAN L. BENNEKE, husband of
the within named mortgagor, MAUREEN ROSE YVONNE BENNEKE, do hereby release all my right of
curtesy and all other rights, statutory or otherwise, in and to the said granted premises
unto the said mortgagees and their heirs and assigns forever.
PROVIDED, NEVERTHELESS, and this conveyance is made upon the express condition,
that if the said mortgagor or her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, shall
pay unto the said mortgagees or their executors, administrators or assigns, the sum of
Five Thousand ($5000) dollars, whenever the said mortgagor has made her negotiable
promissory note for said aggregate sum, bearing date with these presents, and
made payable to the order of EDWARD LEON BURDICK and MARION GERTRUDE BURDICK ten (10)
years from the date payable, with interest thereon at the rate of ---4---% per centum,
per annum, payable semi-annually, until said principal sum is paid, whether at or after
maturity, and all installments of interest in arrears, whether before or after maturity,
to bear interest at the rate aforesaid until paid and shall also pay all taxes and
assessments of every kind levied or assessed upon or in respect of said premises, then
this deed, as also said promissory note, shall become and be absolutely void til all
intents and purposes whatsoever.
BUT IF DEFAULT shall be made in the payment of the said principal sum or of
said interest, at the time or times and in the manner aforesaid, or of the taxes or
assessments aforesaid, as the same become payable, or of any either of them, or of
any part thereof, or if breach shall be made of the covenant for insurance hereinafter
contained, then it shall be lawful for the said mortgagees, their executors, administra-
tors, or assigns, to sell, together or in parcels, all and singular, the premises hereby
granted or intended to be granted, or any part or parts thereof, and the benefit and
equity of redemption of the said mortgagor and her heirs, executors, administrators and
assigns, therein, at public auction upon the premises to and bid for and become the
purchaser or purchasers at any such sale (and no other purchaser or purchasers shall be
answerable for the application of the purchase money), first giving notice of the time
and place of sale by publishing the same at least once each week for three successive
weeks in some newspaper published in the County of Washington with power to adjourn
such sale from time to time, provided that the publishing of said notice shall be
continued, together with a notice of the adjournment or adjournments, at least once each
week in the same newspaper; and in their or her own names or names, or as the attorney
or attorneys of the said mortgagor (for that purpose by these presents duly authorized
and appointed with full power of substitution and revocation), to make, execute and
deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale a good and sufficient deed or deeds
of said premises in fee simple and to receive the proceeds of such sale or sales, and from
such proceeds to retain all sums hereby secured, whether then due or to fall due there-
after, or the part thereof then remaining unpaid, and also the interest then due on the
same, together with all expenses incident to such sale or sales, or for making deeds

heremunder, and for fees of counsel and attorneys, and all costs or expenses incurred
in the exercise of said powers, and all taxes, assessments and premiums for insurance,
if any, either therefore paid by the said mortgagees, their executors, administrators
or assigns, or then remaining unpaid upon said granted premises rendering and paying the
surplus of said proceeds of sale if any there be, over and above the amounts so to be
retained as aforesaid, together with a true and particular account of such sale or sales,
expenses and charges, to the said mortgagor, her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns,
which sale or sales made as aforesaid shall forever be a perpetual bar both in law and
equity against the said mortgagor, her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and
all persons claiming said premises, so sold by, from, or under them, or any of them.
AND I the said mortgagor, for myself and for my heirs, executors, administrators
and assigns, hereby covenant with the said mortgagees, and their heirs, executors, admin-
istrators, that I and they will upon request execute such deed or deeds confirmatory of said
