FITZGERALD, BEN HILI, COUNTY, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 22, 1912.
|Old Martgage is Paid;
Bore Date of 1753,
- Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 21.
One of the oldest mortgages on
lrecord in this county has just
been marked paid here. 1t dates
back to Sept. 14, 1753, when it
was given by Jacob Stadier to
,John Miffling and his wife on a
‘twelve.foot front on Market St.
The value of the propert in 1706
! was $2BO, and the last owner of
|the tract was a Frenchman of 70
'years ago who never claimed it
| because of the incumbrance. It
| was finally sold to pay the claims
'of the city, but the marking off
.of the mortgage has just been
‘authorized by the courts. The
'property is now worth about
'isl.soo a foot.
