⛔ The record we hold stops here: no later instrument we have read cites this one, and no later conveyance by the grantee is linked by name. The index is complete to 1987, so the gap is in the words: deeds of this era seldom cite book and page, and only about half the instruments of 1936-1965 have been transcribed (some 6,000 were never imaged), so a citation to this deed may sit in a page not yet read.

Recorded vol. 62 page 64f. After hearing the parties, with their evidence, this Court finds the allegations of said applicant are proved and true, and that said instrument was duly executed by the Testatrix for her last will and testament, that she was at the time of executing the same of sound mind and memory.
