New job will be fun
It’s a jigsaw puzzle type of issue. One of the prior owners was an attorney. He at least had the common sense to have part of it surveyed in 1982. This will primarily be a project tracking the title of multiple parcels that were assembled and then had a couple of pieces deeded away. Several different issues. Including who owns the ground on the opposite side of the US highway that may, in fact, be a portion of what they hold title to if one figures out all of the calls for rods, chains and which tiny stream is Suchandsuch Creek.
This is a case of the 96 year-old passing away and leaving the 73 year-old son the fun of following the parents’ wishes in distributing quite a number of farms (including this one) between the four sons, counting him. I have performed a survey for the youngest son, probably 10 years ago, when he was getting divorced from wife #?. I was a classmate of the second youngest and was in high school with the third youngest. The oldest (73) has two sons. Both have worked with me, starting when they were high school. One now is a city administrator and the other is a middle school mathematics teacher and track coach. So, I know far too much about the family dynamics compared to the standard survey job.
The son who is to end up with this tract was a wild and crazy teenager who tried (and did) everything that teenagers should not do. At about age 25 (as he puts it) the Lord came back into his life with a passion. He became a minister, not a farmer, and has headed a church and its private school for nearly 40 years now in some of the roughest territory in the State of Oklahoma. At our recent class reunion he was telling a couple of us about conducting the burial service for an older brother of one our classmates. That had to be a tough job considering the deceased had been accused, but never convicted, of participating in the abduction and murder of two teenager girls a couple of decades earlier. Those girls have never been found.
