February 3, 1870 - Indenture

A year following the sale of the property surrounding the location of the Browne school, the Lock family sold the property in two parcels.     The south 60 82/100 acres of the northwest 1/4 and the north 82 68/100 acres of the southwest 1/4 of section 1 in township 39 north of range 3 east of the 3rd PM, total 143 1/2 acres was sold to Lyman Truman on February 3, 1870.

On the same day, a second transaction took place with a different buyer for the southern portion of the property.    The school was once again referenced in the document.  

 The property was identified as, "The South Eighty (80) acres of the South West Quarter of Section one (1) in Township thirty-nine (39) North Range three (3) East of the Third Principal Meridian (excepting about one half acre in the South West corner of said land used for school purposes)" was sold back in the amount of $2,500 to Richard Pearse.
