Succession of Frank Halter, Part 2

The succession file mentioned in Tuesday's post reveals quite a bit about the property and possessions of Frank Halter. I failed to note that the succession was brought forward by John Halter, son of Frank Halter. A description of the real estate owned by Frank is below, and it provides the date he purchased the land on 25 January 1842.

His property also included a four-post bed and bedding, a small armoire, clothing, a safe, 4 tables, 5 chairs, a looking glass, a clock, a hoe and spade, a crosscut saw, 3 hand saws, a foot adze, a plane, crowbar, a hammer and small tools, and 7 colored pictures.

The City of New Orleans filed a challenge on the estate, claiming it had a right to be paid $7.28 in taxes (yes, Seven Dollars and Twenty-Eight Cents) plus $25.00 in drainage taxes, and they had priority to be paid first from the sale of the property. The opposition brought by the City was dismissed.

The Court approved the disposition of the estates on 30 June 1880.
