45 Ind. App. 495 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1910
On April 26, 1906, appellant commen'ced this suit in the court below against the appellees, under §645 Burns 1908, §615 R. S. 1881, to review a decree foreclosing a mortgage in favor of George Hartnagle and against appellant’s decedent and others, entered in the Jay Circuit Court on April 24, 1905. The complaint was in one paragraph, to which a demurrer for want of facts was sustained,
Appellant has incorporated in his complaint the complaint of Hartnagle to foreclose his mortgage, showing that Peter Myer, Sarah Myer, John Myer, Michael Myer, Joseph M. Minch and Jacob P. Myer, Jr., were made defendants therein, and that all of said defendants, except Sarah and Michael Myer, were lienholders on the land covered by the mortgage in suit. The amount of the lien held by each of said defendants, as well as the order of their priority, was alleged. It is also shown that each of said defendants answered the complaint in general denial. Sarah Myer, at that time a minor, answered in denial by a guardian ad litem. It is also shown that the issues thus formed were submitted to the Jay Circuit Court for trial, resulting in a finding fixing the amount and priority of the liens held by plaintiff and each of the defendants against a certain tract of real estate theretofore owned by Jacob Myer, who was then deceased, but who prior to his death had conveyed said real estate to Sarah Myer, who was found to be the fee-simple owner thereof. The mortgage lien of Hartnagle was found to be superior to all liens of defendants except one mortgage lien held by said Minch for $1,121. The mortgage held by Hartnagle was foreclosed, the land ordered sold subject to- the Minch lien for $1,121, and the proceeds arising from such sale were ordered to be applied by the sheriff to the satisfaction, (1) of the costs of the suit, and (2) to the extinguishment of the Hartnagle lien, and to the extinguishment of the other liens in the order of their priority as found by the court. The residue, if any, was to be paid to the clerk of the court for Sarah Myer. It also appears that the Hartnagle suit was commenced April 5, 1905, decree thereon entered April 24, 1905, and on April 25,1905, a copy of said decree was issued by the clerk of said court to the sheriff of said county, who thereafter, pursuant to said decree, sold said real estate to Dora A. Luttman, one
Finding no reversible error in the record, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
