The transaction recorded in Liber 7 page 497, of Wexford County Deeds shows that on 5 July 1878, John P. Fenton purchased interest in this property at a mortgage sale, for $183.50. It was an interesting purchase since Fenton was the mortgage holder, in addition to being the highest bidder at the mortgage sale.

Less than one year, later, Mary Higgins found the money to clear Fenton’s interest in her property. It appears that John P. Fenton and wife realized $13.00 less costs for their trouble.

A map showing the location of the lot is posted with the transaction in Liber 7 page 497.
