Copy of my title opinion dated December 20, 2001 to Karen Ostby at the First National Bank of Baldwin regarding Lot 9, Block 1 in the Village of Cylon. 2. Proposed St. Croix County- Christopherson Quit Claim Deed. 3. Copy of abstract entries 88, 89, 91, and 86 of River Valley Abstract No. 4420. For some reason, Lots 7 through 12 of Block 1 had not been included in the abstract of title when the Christophersons purchased that and contiguous property in June of 2000. When that was discovered, we had the abstract recertified as to Lots 7 through 12, to discover that, while the title to all lots other than Lot 9 had been properly conveyed, Lot 9 had never been conveyed from the County after its 1945 tax deed as shown at entry 88.
