Gernenz v. Everybody

Now we find Charles Gernenz seeking to quiet title on this 120-acre parcel:

120 acres in Sec. 20
(Click on images to enlarge)
From the 1926 Plat Book.


Why now? Beats me. The 1908 Plat Map shows that land owned by Daniel B. Sturtevant … who isn't named in the action to quiet title. Per the 1891 Plat Book, the land was jointly owned by Henry Stelling and Albert Buchgert, also not named. The 1874 Plat Map gives the owner's name as "T. Wehrenburg," which may have some connection to the Frederick Wehrburg named in the action.

From the Hobart News of Oct. 7, 1920.

TLDR summary: Baker, Carter, Davis, Hacker, Larabee, Marston, McDonald, Melbie, Muller, Preston, Raymond, Schneewind, Smith, Summers, Toothill, Wehrburg, Wheeler, Wilcox.
