From the case file
It appears that the Department of Justice can not pass on your abstract of title on Tract No. 132, which is under option for purchase by the Federal Government, until additional information is obtained regarding the heirs to this property.
I note that the option is signed by James D. Frazier, Turner Frazier, Annie Meude Frazier, Ashby Frazier, and Lucy F. Frazier, but it is impossible to determine how these persons came into title.
