81 Iowa 193 | Iowa | 1890
The plaintiff is the holder of the patent title. In January, 1877, N. A. McFaul purchased the lot in controversy for the taxes of 1870, ’71, ’72, ’73, ’74 and ’75, and thereafter assigned the certificate of purchase to E. L. Kirk, who received a treasurer’s deed therefor, June 28, 1880, and on the same day the deed was duly recorded. On the twenty-first of April, 1886, E. L. Kirk conveyed the lot to the defendant, John Hornick, by special warranty deed. The appellant assails the validity of the tax title on three grounds, which will be noticed.
The judgment of the district court must be AFFIRMED.
