• 38 Ill. 440

Syllabus

<p>1. Tax title—necessity of notice. If an officer executes a deed for land under a sale for taxes, without notice having been given to the person in whose name the land was taxed, by personal service thereof if he resides in the county, or, if not, then by publication, informing him of the time of the sale, and when the time for redemption will expire, such deed will be entirely unwarranted, and inoperative to convey a title.</p> <p>2. Same—proof of notice, whether necessary. And proof that such notice has been given is essential to the admissibility of a tax deed in evidence.</p>
