Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 54, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 March 1902 — The Recorder's Busy Day. [ARTICLE]

The Recorder's Busy Day.

The many land and residence sales of the past few months, many of which were not fully closed up until about the first of march, together with many other such sales just made, have resulted in a rush of business at the county recorder’s office, never before equalled. Tbns in the 5 days from Feb. 27th to March 3rd, or really only 4 days, not counting Sunday, there were 65 deeds filed for record, 64 mortgages and 52 other instruments, such as releases, assignments, affidavits, etc, this is at the rate of 45 a day, and as yet there is no perceptible let up. It keeps one person busy just receiving these instruments and placing them on the entry book.
