II. The demurrer should have been sustained. As to all the land, except two and one-half acres, there was no notice at all. As to that much of it, the notice was not directed to the persons to whom the land was taxed. The statute of limitations, under the decisions of this court, does not cut off the right of redemption of plaintiff, the owner of patent title. (Hillyer v. Farneman, 65 Iowa, 227; Slyfield v. Barnum, 71 Id., 245.)
The decree of the circuit court is reversed, and the cause will be remanded for a decree in harmony with this opinion.
Reversed.
