quit claim deed
Viola deeds one-quarter interest in above property (NE 1/4, 11-73-6) to Irvin; although the earlier deed from 1936 gave her a legal one-half interest in the property, for some reason, Irvin and family understood that he had a larger, three-quarter interest in this property; this deed makes that understanding legal
