Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to EGEDIUS LARSON on 8 May 1903, out of the Marquette land office. The land is T39N R10W Section 1 NENE — 39N10W1NENE on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Homestead EntryOriginal, and the row cites May 20, 1862 (12 Stat. 392). Accession MI3120__.087 covers five location rows. They share the 155.4000 acres the source reports.
Ownership evidence and limits
A patent records the moment the United States parted with the land, and stops there. Whatever happened afterwards sits in the county deed index rather than here. The grantee is the spelling a clerk wrote in 1903, and it stays a spelling until a separate identity record carries the link to a person or an organisation. A shared surname is not that record.
Do not carry the acreage onto this description either: 155.4000 acres is the whole patent, spread across five location rows.
