Folsom v. Rhodes ( 1872 )

By the Court.

Where the purchaser of land executes a mortgage to the vendor for unpaid purchase money, and the land is afterward, and during the lifetime of the purchaser, sold under judicial proceedings for foreclosure of the mortgage, the widow of the purchaser, although she did not sign the mortgage, and was not made a party to the proceeding of foreclosure, is not entitled to dower in the premises, or to redeem the same.

Motion overruled.
