THE MATHEWS? ESTATE
- No. 7 —
How LeGrand Lockwood Bought Property—
.. What He Paid For It—The Acreage
To understand fully the facts sur-
rounding thc purchases of land that
make up the Mathews estate. one
must be in sympathy with the trend
of those Civil War times. when the
land Was acquired by LeGrand
Lockwood.
As. during the latter part of our
late war. mom-y matters were riot-
ing. Sums that before had seemed
gigantic. were tripping off the tong-
ues of financiers. A new era was
opening. and costs were climbing.
just as did the costs following the
\V‘orld “'ar. The slump came later.
just. as it did a. few years ago—but
that is another tale.

value received with interest at 7 per

is paid according to its tenor. this
deed is to be void. otherwise in full
force and notice in law."
In other words, Mallory mortgag—
ed his property for $3.000 to Le-
Grand Lockwood. One year and one
month later the demand note was
called. and Mallory relinquished his
property by deed of December 23,
1864. to LeGrand Lockwood.
