Bazaar Exception in a description

[pls7809]

Here's a new one for me:

Excepting therefrom, the Oak Trees now standing on the land above described, as reserved by (some bank), in the deed recorded June 11, 1898, in ... of deeds...

[Scott Tikalsky]

Well, the price of oak firewood keeps going up. :)

[Warren Smith]

The Oaks could have been shade for the Bazaar ...

Bizarre ...

:-)

Thanks Warren. That didn't look right to me and now I know why.

[Dave Karoly, PLS]

Gladding-McBean in Lincoln purchased and burned up a lot of Oak trees. They are a vitrified clay plant.

[Anthony Maffia]

I learned this in a RE class I took around 2006. Sales of agricultural lands can exclude the next harvest - fruit, crops, etc.

Perhaps the seller was planning on cutting down the oaks as timber?

[Dave Sigman]

As I understand it, crops in the field and harvested timber aren't considered part of the land but growing timber is. Maybe the owner just had a sentimental attachment to the trees and didn't want to see them cut down.

[pls7809]

The reservation was to a bank, so it was probably some kind of commodity they were going to cut and sell. Maybe part of the deal that was made back then to pay off a loan or something.

may also have to do with a condition for Oak Tree mitigation.

[pls7809]

I would be surprised if mitigation was the reason in 1898.

[Dave Sigman]

Since it was to the bank it was probably part of the collateral the bank took for the loan to buy the property... just thinking out loud.

I took it as a reference to a prior deed in 1898, describing the current lands, subject to. I can see 2 or 3 interpretations based on the info given.
