Summary:
This series consists of correspondence, rent receipts, and repair, improvement, and maintenance bills relating to the rental
of escheated property. When the title to property failed from defect or lack of heirs, the land then reverted, or escheated,
to the people of the state. The state then appointed temporary administrators, often local judges, to supervise the rental
and maintenance of the property until possible heirs could be identified, or other disposition of the land.
