The Court finds from the affidavit filed with the Court, that H & S Partnership purchased certain real property from Barry Crews and Carol Crews, by deed dated January 29, 2025, and recorded in D46, page 504-508, Register's Office of Perry County, Tennessee, and designated as Map 126, Parcel 1.02 in the Office of the County Property Assessor of Perry County, Tennessee. Upon obtaining a title search on the real property it was revealed that the former owners of the property, Brown George and wife, Katie J. George, had retained a one-half undivided interest in the mineral rights, as set out in Warranty Deed recorded in Deed Book W-23, page 431, Register's Office of Wayne County, Tennessee; however the records in the Perry County Tax Assessor's Office reflects that there has been no separate mineral tax paid.

 The Court finds that the affidavit states that the said Brown George died April 3, 1965; and his wife, Katherine a/k/a Katie George died February 4, 1975. The parties had six (6) children, namely, Christine E. George Ozburn, who died February 7, 1996; Alberta George Bartch, who died April 13, 2003; Marie Emma George Barranco, who died July 31, 1996; Geneva George Jardet, who died December 29, 2007, and left surviving three (3) children, per the obituary of Geneva George Jardet, namely, James G. Jardet, Jr., Eunice Jardet Sterns, and Janice M. Jardet of Knoxville, TN; Jeanette George Laney, who died November 4, 2019, and left two (2) children, namely, Sandra Dempsey and Susan Combs; and Charles David George, who died April 16, 2014, and left four (4) children, namely, Beth George, Kay George Eysoldt, both of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mary Ellen Cook and Julie Highsmith, of Columbia, Tennessee, per obituary of Charles David George. 

The Court further finds that upon due diligent, the pursuit for the heirs of the deceased, Brown George and wife, Katie J. George, has been duly searched, finding various heirs, but no determination as to all the heirs, and no addresses for service of process. 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Notice by Publication shall serve all of the known and unknown heirs of Brown George and Katie J. George, Defendants by publication of a notice in the Buffalo River Review, a newspaper of general circulation in Perry County, Tennessee, once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks, commencing on or before, APRIL 9 2025, to APRIL 23, 2025, and that the Defendants be required to enter their appearance and make defense on or before the 23rd day of June, 2025. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
