Nebraska Supreme Court May 17, 1913, No. 17,181 (Abbott v. Johnston)

Rose, J.

Plaintiff began a suit in 1909 to cancel a mortgage on a number of lots in Crete, on the ground that enforcement of the lien had been barred by the statute of limitations. The mortgage was given to secure a note for $2,780, dated May 17, 1888, and payable May 17, 1890. Guy L. Abbott and Elizabeth Abbott were mortgagors, and Johnston, Eoss & Stevens were mortgagees.
