My father passed away at the end of last year and I was recently reading through some of his shoeboxes full of Old family deeds and such. I came across a hand written contract dated 1886 between my great great grandfather born in 1830 and one of his neighbors. Best I can tell he was giving his neighbor a seven year lease on some land in exchange for the neighbor building a stable, corn crib and fence on the property. I thought the detail describing how the fence and other structures were to be built was interesting. Simpler times, but that doesn’t sound all too bad these days.
