Mr. George D Wakeland and December 5 1964 Mrs Dolores Wakeland 9745 Highway 167 St. Louis Missouri Broadway Coal Mining Company A Tennessee Corp. Plaintiff vs Cora E Maddox et al Oh Circuit Crt.Hartford Ky. Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wakeland: This is to inform you, that the undersigned, a reguarly licensed and practicing attorney of the Ohio Circuit Court, was by the clerk of the said Court,on or about November 25,1964, appointed as Warning Order Attorney for the non-resident defendants and unknown heirs at law, who have an interest in a certain tract or parcel of land in Ohio County,being known as the John C.Wakeland tract,containing 320 acres or 344 acres.The complaint in substance alleges that John C. Wakeland died in Ohio county, Kentucky prior to September 4,1860 and the owner of 320 acres or 344 acres of land. That John C. Wakeland left a will, leaving leaving said property to his wife, Nancy for her life and that at her death the said tract of land be equally divided between his four sons. That his sons were W. F. Wakeland, J. B. Wakeland, J. A. Wakeland, G.F.Wakeland and Dillis Dyer Wakeland. The said Dillis Dyer died prior to February 10,1862 and left surviving his Mother and brothers and sisters, to wit: Nancy Wakeland, Amelia A Southard, Mary C Blevins,Eliza J Southard,Sally C Loney and Martha E Russ and that aforesaid Mother and the aforenamed brothers and the above mentioned sisters inherited the interest of Dillis Dyer Wakeland. That in the year 1887 the heirs of John C. Wakeland, Dillis Dyer Wakeland and George Lucas Wakeland effected a division of the John C. Wakeland Home Tract, whereby James B Wakeland acquired a tract of 68 1/2 acres.That in all of the deeds of division the reservation of all mineral rights were reserved undivided and therefore the minerals under the 320 or 344 acres tract remained the undivided property of the said heirs in the same proportion as the interest of said heirs in and to the surface of the said tract. Therfore, the heirs of James B. Wakeland and the heirs of John Andrew Wakeland, the heirs of William Finis Wakeland each aquiring an undivided one-fifth interest in the minerals. The heirs of J.J. Wakeland and S.F. Wakeland acquired an undivided one-fifth interest and the heirs of Dillis Dyer Wakeland acquired the other one-fifth undivided interest. That by divers conveyances the surface of the property of the entire 344 acres became the property of Broadway Coal Mining Company,that Broadway Coal Mining Conpany eventually acquired certain undivided interest in the minerals in and underlying the subject property and also one Alexander Stogner acquired certain undivided interest and he died leaving as his heirs and only heirs 6 children, to wit: Cordelia Gordon, Adeline Beard, Louisa Sparks, Bina Gordon, Mattie L Hall and Irene E Maddox. That all of said heirs with the exception of Cora E Maddox and Nannie P Maddox sold and conveyed all their undivided interest in and to the minerals underlying the subject tract. That the interest of Cora E Maddox and Nannie P Maddox is still owned by them and their heirs at law. That by divers conveyances through the years the Broadway Coal Mining Company has acquired the major portion of the interest in the minerals and that the other heirs and defendants mentioned herein have small fractional interests in the hundredths and the thousandths. The complaint further alleges that the mineral rights are indivisible and cannot be be divided amongst the joint owners without materially impairing the value thereof and that said property should be sold at the Court House door and that the proceed of said sale remaining after the court costs and the attorneys fees for plaintiffs attorney, be divided among the joint owners as their respective interest herein appear. Under Kentucky law, if no answer or defense is filed by you within 50 days after November 25, 1964 judgement may be entered ordering the sale of the property and the division of the proceeds. If you desire to make a defense, you should contact an attorney of your choice at your earliest convenience in order that he can prepare such a defence for you. The attorney for the plantiff is Walter L Catinna, Hartford, Kentucky and any answer shoul be served on him as well as filing a copy with the Ohio Circuit Court Clerk at Hartford, Kentucky. I might further point out, that under Kentucky law there does not appear to be any legal defense to such an action and that as the fractional interests of the varied parties concerned are so small, that it would appear to be advisable to employ an attorney. However, that decision is left to the discretion of the individual heirs. Very truly yours, Carmel D.
