The mortgage involved in this action was executed by Susan Parriott on the northeast quarter of section 22, township 91, range 21, in Franklin county, to secure the payment of two notes, amounting to fifteen hundred dollars, exclusive of interest. The mortgagor was made a party defendant, and a decree was rendered against her and in favor of plaintiff on the twenty-sixth day of May, 1887. Sarah K. Sheets claims a dower interest in a part of the mortgaged premises as the widow of John W. Sheets, deceased. The cause was tried as to her claim, and a decree rendered in her favor on the seventh day of September, 1888, and from that decree the appeal is taken.
Modified and affirmed.
