Giles, his wife, residents of -Indian River County, • are the owners and in the possession of a parcel of land located in Indian River Florida, P County, Florida, described as follows: i1 Beginning at the Northeast corner of Tract 4, according to Re -Plat of Ridgewood Subdivision, which said Re -Plat was filed May 3, 1939, and recorded in Plat Book 2, page 39, public records of Indian River County, Florida; and run East 30 feet, more or less, the the Northwest corner of Tract 10 in said Re -Plat, thence run South on the West line of said Tract 10, 185 feet to the Southwest corner of said Tract 10, thence run West to the Southeast corner of said Tract 4, thence run North on the East line of said Tract 4, 185 feet to the point of beginning. That Petitioners claim title to the above parcel of land under a deed executed to them by J. A. Harris, a widower, which said deed was dated March 9, 1940, and recorded same day in Deed Book 27, page 593, Indian River County, Florida, records, and that Petitioners ever since have been and now are in the possession, occupancy and use of said parcel of land and have had for a number of years, substantial improvements located on said parcel of land. Petitioners also claim title and ownership of said parcel of land under a Quit Claim Deed executed to them by Joseph B. Gunter and Edith Gunter, his wife, which deed was dated March 19, 1957, and recorded same day in Official Record Book 7, pa ge 172, Indian River County, Florida, records.
