by the surveyor Horacio Chroisma-1 previously appointed for the
purpose, with the following situation and boundaries;
Situated on the creek called Saline Creek east of the

and from the north corner of number 4, which is a landmark 10
varas distant from a Spanish Oak bearing north 49 west, and

J. Sidney Smith and J. M.. Ferguson, being duly sworn
upon their oath did depos,e and say each for himself, as
follows :.
flI have lived near and been acquainted with the
following described tract of land for more than thirty years:-
All that, certain tract or parcel of land lying and
being situated in. the Richard Carter Survey, ,4bstract N.o. 8,'
Brazos County, ~exas, and being a, tract of 20d acres of land,
described by metes and bounds as 'follows : r
~J ;
Being out of two tracts of land heretofore conveyed to
H. P. Dansby as shown by deeds recorded in Volume 33, page
610, and Volume 53, page 518, deed records of Brazos County,
and '
BEGINNING on the west line of State Highway No.. 6, at
the S. W. corner of the Dansby land, a lane not far from
.opposite the new gateway of the A.. & M. College of Texas;
THENCE S. 46' 10 E 3311 ft with said line of the High-
way, and corner;
THENCE N. 45 E 2632 feet and corner;
THENCE N 46' 10 W 3314 feet parallel with the first
line and corner;
THENCE S 45 W 2632 feet to the place of beginning,
containing 200 acr~"js of lanp., and we also convey any interest
that we have in any ~lghway front not heretofore conveyed by
us in the Highway adjoining said tract of land.
Said land is more fully described'in a deed from Mrs.
Minnie Dansby, et al, to~. C. Culpepper, dated August 10,
19:37, and recorded in Volume 94, page 231, of the Deed Records
of Brazos County, Texas, to which deed and its record re-
ference is hereby made in aid .ofdescrlpti.on.
The said 200 acre tract of land was a part of tw.o
tracts of land one of which contains 237 acres and acquired
by H. P. Dansby from James Cooper, on May 5, 1911, and deed is
reco~ded in Volume 33, page 610, of the Deed Records of Brazos
County, Texas, and the other contains 280 acres and'was
acquired by H. P. Dansby by deed dated September 27, 1920,
by deed recorded in Volume 53~ page 518, Deed Records of
Brazos County, Texas, from Frank Vavra.
I am familiar with both tracts of land prior t.o 1910,
and at that time the 237 acre tract of land was owned by
James Cooper and rented by him to various tenants. There was
a main dwelling, a barn, well of water, tanks and one or mere
tenant houses located on this tract of land, prior t.o the time
James Cooper sold it to H. P.. Dansby. A part of said land was

in cult! vationand a part in pasture. The land was cross fenced
into convenient pastures and had been used for a farm and small
ranch for more than twenty years at that tlme. H. P. Dansby
acquired title in 1911 and continued to use it as a farm and
pasture. He repaired the farm houses and rehabilitated the place
in general. H.. P. Dansby rented the land to various parties who
cultivated the farm portion mostly .on a third and fourth basis.
The pasture land was used by H. P. Dansby wi th his other land
fer his live stock. A .tenant by the nnme.of Ed Boriskie'lived on
this placafor many years and when he moved away about the year
1929, a man by the name of Richards became the tenant, who used
the place in the same way that Bori~kie had used it. Richards
occupie~ the land as Dansby's tenant until ab.out the year 1934 or
1935 and moved away. Dansby then tore down the house and all
buildings and turned it all into pasture.
The 280 acre tract of 'land above described in 1910 and
several years prior thereto was the homestead of Frank Vavra, who
acquired the land in the early nineties. Frank Vavra built a
h.ouse on it, kept up fences, cultivated: portions of the 280 acres,
put down 'a well, dug tanks and had all homestead impr.ovements..
Frank Vavra reared a. large family on this place and used most of
the land for a fram and a part of it for a pasture.
--- ., ,
In 1920 he sold the land to H. P. Dansby, who In turn
rented the land to Rudolph Vavra, a son of Frank Vavra and his
family lived on the place as tenants. Rudolph Vavra rented the
land on a third and fourth. basis. He lived on the place until'
the year 1936, when the 200 acre tract of land was sold to J. C.
Culpepper and the portion .of the 280 acres included in the 200
acres took in the house occupied by Rudolph Vavra.

During all the time that I have kno~m this place, for
more th~n twenty years, it has been used and occupied by H. P.
Dansby and his prodecessor$ in title, who have held peacable and
adverse possession of same, cultivated, used and" enjoyed the
same. ~ land has been fenced with a good renee, which has been
kept up and in ordinary labor.
Affiants are both acquainted with the fact that H. P..
Dansby always paid his taxes on all of his property bef.ore they
became delinquent. Affiant J. M. Ferguson was Tax Collect.or for
six years, County Judge for four years .and at the present time is
first Deputy Tax Assessor-Collector in said Tax Office. Affiant
J. Sidney Smith is also a Deputy in said Tax Collector's office
and fer six years was Tax Assessor of Brazos County, Texas, and
has b~~n in constant tough with the Tax records. .
Said land fronted on one of the main county roads in
Bra~bs' C.ounty, Texas, just across the A. & M. College property
and was in a thickly settledcornmunity.
I have never known of anyone claiming title to. this
land other than the record owners from 1890 to this ,date.
Affiant J.. M. Ferguson is 60 years of age and J. Sidney
Smith is 60 years of age and both were born ~nd reared in Brazos
County, Texas."

Rudolph Vavra, being duly sworn did depose and say
upon his oath, as follows:
"My name is Rudolph Vavra. I am 58 years .of age. I
am a child of Frank Vavra, deceased. He owned a tract of 280
acres in the Richard Carter League, Brazos. County, Texas. I
lived on this place from the time my father purchased it in the
early nineties until I moved away in 1936. I helped work creps
on the place each year as a field hand and child of my father,
'then as a renter from my father and then as a renter from H. P.
Dansby. I am particularly familiar with the crops grown .on this
place and with the crops grown on the adjoining 237 acres of
land. The basic crops grown each and every year by my father and
by the tenants on the Cooper or Dansby place were corn and cotton.
There was various feed crops on limited acreage such as sorghum,
oats and truck patches. This is a corn and cotton country and
was decidedly so prior to the year 1936. A crop was grown-each
year on this place from the early nineties to 1933 or 1934 on
the 237 acres and on the 280 acres through the year 1936.

Vict.oria Dominik, being duly sworn, did depose and
say as,-!"611ows:
"I was !'eared on the Dominik plantation adj.oining the
H. P. Dansby, Sr., land purchased by him from the Vavra's. I
am twenty seven years .of age and have known the place for more
than twenty years. My family and the Vavraf~~ily were close
friends. Rudolph Vavra, son .of Frank Vavra, married an aunt .of
mine, Annie Dominik. Frank Vavraclived in the main house of
the 280 acre tract .of land later conveyed'to H . P. Dansby, Sr.
My~ncl~ Rudolph Vavra, lived in a small house northeast of the
mainhouse.I very often went from our home to my uncle's home.
'" 'A four wire fence' attached t.o common post oak posts completely
surrounded the 280 acre tract of land and there ~VS1.'0 cross fences
di viding the pasture land from the cuI ti vated land~ Openings in
the fence line were by wire gaps attached to small post oak
polls, fastened at the top and bottom with wire loops. These
fences'were kept in repair from time to time by adjoining land
.owners, from the time when I first began noticing them, more than
twenty three years ago. There has not been a time when these
fences were net up.. In the fall of the year the gaps would some
times be left down between the field and pastu!'e, but the gaps on
the out side fences were always'kept up. The fence between the
D.ominik land and the Vavra land, later Dansby land,....was owned ,
jointly by the Dominik's and the Vavra's and then Dansby'S, and
when they worked the fences, each owner would furnish an equal
number of laborers and divided the bills for fence material.
There was a fenco' dividing the 237 acre tract, which
is known as the Cooper land, and the 280 acre tract" known as
the Vavra place. This fence was also a four wire fence, attached
to' post oak posts.- This was a solid fence from the College
road to the northeast end, until H. P. Dansby, Sr.., purchased
botht'rac't-s"....,and a wire gap was made in this dividing fence to
all.ow passag~ from one tract to the other.
"
, ,
The northwest fence divided the Cooper land fr.om the
Putz land and D. A. Smith land, and there was als.o a four wire
fence, attached to post oak posts and maintained by Ed Putz and
H. P. Dansby, Sr,., as far back as I can remember. Both ends of
b\.lth tracts (the, 237 acre tract and the 280 acre tract) were als.o
fenced with a four wire fence attached to common post oak posts.
r
More than twenty years age D. A. Smith purchased what
was known as the Atkins place on the northwest side of the ~ ,
Cooper land and southwest of the Ed Putz place. He built a fence
in a way that a lane was left-from the College road now Highway
6, to the home of Ed Putzabout one half ,of the distance of the
northwest line.
o There'was a min gate on the fence line on Highway No.
6, into ,the Vavra property and there was a wire gap on the C.ooper
land along the line ne~t to ,the Highway No.6, where a wire gap
on the Cooper line on the narrow line above referred to. Thence
out side gaps were always lrept closed.

I, Victoria Dominik, hereby certify that the plat attached
hereto was drawn by me to scale and I have indicated on said plat
the location of the various tracts .of land, location of fenceS and
cross,fences, houses and ownership of adjoining lands to conf.orm
to my Affidavit made April 7, 1939.
The Frank Vavra house on the 280 acre tract of land was
occupied by Frank Vavra and his family for more than twenty (20)
years.. The tenant house northw0stof the main house was occupied
by Rudolph Vavra from 1917 to 1920, and after Dansby purchased the
Vavra place Frank Vavra moved out and Rudolph Vavra moved into
the Main house (the one referred to as having been .occupied by
Frank Vavra for more than twenty years). Rud.olph Vavra lived in the
main house .or Frank Vavra house fron the year 1920 to 1936.
Ed Boriskie lived in the tenant house on the 237 acre tract
.of land from 1916 to about the year 1929, and he then m.oved away
and a. man by the name of Richards occupied the Boriskie House
from the year 1930 to the year 1934 or 193p, when the house was
town down and a portion of said land was sold to the College Hills
Estates.
