Deed Record Rock Island FS film #008335462 afb. 319/408
This Indenture, made and entered into this second day of July, A.D. 1856, is between Hubert Klaine, administrator with the will annexed of the estate of Charles A. C. J. Lane, late of Rock Island County, Illinois, deceased, party of the first part, and A. Van Landschoot, of the same County, party of the second part.
Whereas, at the May Term A.D. 1856 of the County Court of Rock Island, sitting on August 6, 1856 as a Court of Probate, an order was entered on record upon the petition of Hubert Klaine, administrator with the will annexed, to sell the real estate of the deceased for the payment of debts. The Court found that due notice of the petition had been given according to law by publication in the Rock Island Advertiser, a weekly newspaper printed and published in Rock Island County. It further appearing that Charles A. C. J. Lane died testate on or about February 10, 1855, and that on January 11, 1856, Hubert Klaine was duly appointed by the Court as administrator with the will annexed of the estate of the deceased. The Court determined that the personal estate of the deceased was insufficient to pay the debts, that the administrator had applied all personal assets to satisfy the debts, and that a balance of $316.44 remained due.
The deceased was seized of the following real estate, located in Rock Island County, Illinois: a portion of Lot Five (5) in Block Thirteen (13) in that part of the City of Rock Island known as Spences & Cases Addition to the original town of Stephenson. The Court therefore ordered that the real estate be sold by the administrator at public auction to the highest and best bidder at the front door of the courthouse in Rock Island County, on a date to be designated by the administrator, between ten o’clock in the forenoon and five o’clock in the afternoon, after publishing notice of the sale for six consecutive weeks in at least four public places in the County and in the Rock Island Advertiser.
The sale was to be made under the following terms: one-half cash in hand, and the balance on nine months’ credit with interest at six percent per annum. The purchaser was required to provide a bond and mortgage on the premises to secure payment. The administrator was required to execute and deliver a deed to the purchaser and apply the proceeds toward payment of the debts. Costs of the proceeding were to be paid by the administrator from the estate.
Pursuant to this order, the administrator scheduled the sale for Wednesday, July 2, 1856, and after proper notice, offered the property for sale at public auction. The property, being a portion of Lot Five (5) in Block Thirteen (13), was described as beginning at the southwest corner of Lot Five, running north along the west line of the lot 80 feet, then east at right angles 60 feet, then south along the east line 80 feet, and then west along the south line 60 feet to the place of beginning. The north ten feet of the lot was reserved as an alley for use in common by the owners of Lot Five and their heirs and assigns. The property was struck off and sold to A. Vanlandschoot for the sum of $1,250, he being the highest and best bidder.
Now, know all men by these presents that I, Hubert Klaine, administrator with the will annexed of the estate of Charles A. C. J. Lane, in consideration of the premises and the sum of twelve hundred and fifty dollars in hand paid, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, have bargained, sold, transferred, and by these presents do bargain, sell, transfer, and convey unto A. Van Landschoot, his heirs and assigns, the above-described tract of land, together with all appurtenances and hereditaments thereunto belonging.
To have and to hold the said real estate unto the said party of the second part, and to his heirs and assigns, forever. In testimony whereof, the said Hubert Klaine, administrator as aforesaid, has hereunto set his hand and seal on the day and year first above written, in the presence of witnesses. Prior to signing, the words “South,” “Eighty,” and the figures “(60)” were struck out, and the word “East” was interlined.
