Description |
Partial Abstract of Title to land in Fairhope, Alabama. The land is sometimes referred to as the Schalkenback Tract. This land's ownership was in dispute between Sarah Tatum and Jerome Stapleton. Chancery Court in Mobile settled the dispute in favor of Mrs. Tatum in 1896. (See BSS.906 in these online Archives for the resolution of that dispute.) Mrs. Tatum sold the property to Charles Schalkenback on February 26, 1894. (She would sell a separate tract of 135 acres located to the south and east to the Fairhope Industrial Association - the Fairhope founders - in early January 1895.) Schalkenback sold to Dr. Clara E. Atkinson, (1845-1932) on January 2, 1996. Dr. Atkinson sold a tract to Alice McMurtry on October 12, 1907. From the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation Archives. |
