Description
1 This equitable action was commenced by Cynthia Irene Bennett on the 10th day of April, 1952, against Frank Grother
to quiet her alleged fee simple title to certain described property which she allegedly deraigned through warranty deed dated
August 1, 1944 from F.A. Byrd and Martha A. Byrd, husband and wife. Frank Grother answered by general denial and cross-petitioned
for individual relief and asserted that he was the owner of the land involved by reason of his (and his predecessors' in title)
adverse possession, which adverse possession had allegedly continued for a period of more than fifteen years, giving him title
by prescription. Both plaintiff and defendant prayed that their title be quieted and that the other be enjoined and barred
from claiming any right, title or interest in said property. 2 The cause was tried on the issue of fact as to adverse possession resulting in a judgment for defendant, from
which the plaintiff appeals.
