Another notary document
1913-11-30, Lipno, notary – all the possesion in Lipno was sold by Depkowski’s family to Ludwik Bartel
I haven’t a document of the sale Depkowski’s heritage from 1913. But I have the document telling about it – in 1923 the new owner of Depkowski’s estate, Mr Bartel sold it to his daughter. There is a part in Polish:
…Ludwik Bartel oświadczył, że on wszystkie [prawa] nabyte przez niego od Władysława i Teodora braci Depkowskich za sumę rubli trzysta, na mocy aktu sporządzonego przed działającym Notariuszem w dniu trzydziestym listopada tysiąc dziewięćset trzynastego roku za Nr 1611, a otrzymane przez tych ostatnich wskutek śmierci ojca ich Romana Depkowskiego vel Deptowicza, prawa do połowy nieruchomości na przedmieściu miasta Lipna pod Nr 230/275 oznaczonej w dokumentach asekuracyjnych pod Nr 258a, składającej się z połowy domu, podwórza, ogrodu, łąki, płotów i zabudowań podwórzowych od strony miasta Lipna, słowem wszystko, co nabył i posiada bez żadnego wyłączenia, aktem niniejszym odstępuje córce Elżbiecie Grończewskiej za dobrowolnie umówioną sumę milion (1,000,000) marek polskich, którą otrzymał od tejże nabywczyni gotówką…
My translation:
… Ludwik Bartel declared that he had all the [rights] he had bought from Władysław and Teodor brother Depkowskis for the sum of three hundred rubles, by force of an act drawn up before the notary on November 30, 1913, No. 1611, and received by them as a result of death the father of their, Roman Depkowski vel Deptowicz, the right to half of the real estate in the suburbs of Lipno under No. 230/275 marked in the insurance documents under No. 258a, consisting of half of the house, yard, garden, meadow, fences and courtyard buildings from side of the Lipno city, in a word everything he has acquired and holds without any exclusion, he hereby renounces to her daughter Elżbieta Grończewska for a voluntarily agreed sum of one million (1,000,000) Polish marks, which she received from that buyer in cash …
Last step of their emmigration
1913-12-10, Lipno-NYC – Teodozja (48y) on the ship “Cassel” travelled from Brema (German port) to NYC, to her husband Władysław (53y) in Brooklyn.
It’s amazing we can know the names of her felow-travellers in cabin nr 2!
