You and each of you are hereby notified that there is now on file
in the office of the clerk of the District Court of Allamakee

she claims to be the absolute owner in fee simple, of NE 1/4 of
the NE 1/4, Sec. 31, and the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4, and the W 1/2
of the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4, Sec. 32, all in Township 97, Range
6, west of the 5th P.M., Allamakee County, Iowa.
That plaintiff is the owner in possession of said property by
purchase from John Letchford, deed dated March 9th, 1878, and
duly recorded in deed records of Allamakee county, Iowa, that
said John Letchford was the owner in possession by purchase, from
the 8th day of December, 1868, to March 9th, 1878; that Betsey A.
Bollman has been the owner in uninterupted possession of said
described property since said last named date up to the present
time; and that all prior owners enjoyed a like possession of the
same.
That there are heirs and claimants of said property not known to
this plaintiff. That she has designated said defendants by their
names as she last knew them. That the description, of said
property contained in certain deeds executed by some of the
defendants, is defective. that the estate, of said John Lyons,
deceased, has not been settled.
That plaintiff is informed and has reason to believe that the
defendants make some claim to said described property adverse to
her estate therein; that in her petition she asks that the title
to said property be quieted in her, and that each of said
defendants be barred and forever estopped from having or claiming
any title thereto adverse to that of plaintiff and that she be
decreed the absolute owner in fee simple of the said described
property.
And that unless you appear thereto, and defend before noon of the
next term of said court, to be held at Waukon, commencing April

rendered as prayed for in said petition.
