• This original Warranty Deed, recorded on November 30, 1921, documents the transfer of forty (40) acres of land in Wood County, Ohio from James W. Gorton, an unmarried man residing in the Village of Cygnet, to Arthur M. Eidson of the same locality. The property, situated in Township 4 North, Range 11 East, was conveyed for a consideration of one dollar and other valuable considerations, and is described as commencing at the southeast corner of the southwest quarter of Section 32.

  The deed was formally acknowledged before Notary Public Mayme Kehler and recorded in Deed Book 124, Page 371 by County Recorder J.F. Wilson, with a recorders fee of $0.80. The document includes the signatures of witnesses Mayme Kehler and G.W. Bowman, and the transfer was verified by County Auditor E.E. Coriell.

  Notably, the deed specifies that the land is subject to all rights of the electric line along the premises, reflecting early 20th-century infrastructure easements common to the period. This legal instrument provides a fascinating snapshot of rural Ohio land ownership and conveyancing practices during the post–World War I era.
