Just to confuse the matter a bit more: WILLIE: the US section grid has been laid out on a globe, which means "adjustments" have to be made, which means there're lots of "quarters" of less than 160 (and some that're MORE). The County Surveyors office will have the original GLO plats, or they may be online. ROADS: (Sigh) A mess. In Calif/Ore most often county road EASEMENTS; only in later years did County/State/Fed take actual fee title (complete ownership) of the road area. So, assuming road easement originally with centerline along property line: "...thence S 30 E to the centerline of the road; thence along the centerline...". OH?? centerline as it existed when?? If you bought along the centerline in 1940, and you're selling now, is the centerline the same?? If not, you're either omitting some or claiming part of someone else's... County Surveyors offices should have road records and original road plats, and the differences between then and now are sometimes frightening...you also want to check, if researching Cty Rd 16, whether any partial realignments were made as part of CR16 records or maybe got new numbers, like CR136 or CR457 for the realigned sections...isn't this fun??? These comments are based on Calif/Oregon procedures, and may not apply, in some instances, to other states.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
