Granny & PawPaw's House Deed

     My paternal grandparents lived in a three bedroom house in Liburn for as long as I knew them.  I recently came into possession of their original copy of the deed. From this I learned that they purchased the house and 2.02 acres of land in 1962 for $11,200.  Looking online, I see the house listed on Zillow 1.7 acres and built in 1964.  I'd heard that part of the land had been sold and know that the house had burned down at one time, this deed adds credence to those facts.
