Strotherville Plantation - Land dispute - Adams County Mississippi
The following document is typed just as the original that my father, Charles E. Hootselle received in June, 1954.
He told me that Humble Oil Company illegally obtained the property stated in this document, therefore denying all the heirs in this document of any in inheritance.
