Mortgage on land in Hillsdale County, Michigan, described as:
The west half of the northwest quarter of Section 13 in Town 8 South, Range 3 West.

$1000.00 as follows: the interest upon the $1000.00 annually for 3 years from the date of this Mortgage; also for 3 years following $100.00 of the principal each year and the interest upon the full amount that remains unpaid at the time of payment; also the remaining $700.00 to be paid in 4 annual payments with interest upon full amount due at the time of payment.

Abstractor's Note:
There is no Deed of Record conveying the above described land to the above named first parties, but from the fact that the Deed title rested (as appears of Record) in Urias HOYT from 1841 to 1860, we judge that the said Urias HOYT did deed the above described land to the said Cornelius FULLER but that the said FULLER never had his Deed placed on record.
