Illinois Supreme Court October 26, 1908 (Mahan v. Schroeder)

Mr. Justice Scott

delivered the opinion of the court:

The principal questions in this case are questions of fact. At the time of the death of Maria Schroeder the notes and mortgage in question were in possession of her husband, Herman Schroeder, properly endorsed and assigned to him. The presumption arises therefrom that he was the legal and equitable owner of the property.
