The personal property of said deceased, consisting of horses, cattle, 2 wagons, 1 corn-sheller,
farming utensils, corn in the field and many things too tedious to mention.  The sale will
commence at 10 o'clock a. m., and be on the following terms.
        A credit of four months will be given on all sums over $5, the purchaser giving his note
with approved security before removal of the property.  That sum and under CASH in hand.

belonging to the widow of said Wm Groom, deceased, on the same terms.
note: There is no property listed to be sold; what happened to the property?
The 1877 Clay Co Atlas shows W. Grooms EST in section 25, T52W, R32N.  I believe this
