Syllabus

<p>Boundaries — Establishment—Description in Deeds — Evidence —Sufficiency. Where a grantee in a deed platted the land and actually surveyed and staked the addition upon the ground conforming substantially to the description in his deed, such description must be taken as fixing the boundaries of the tract, notwithstanding that there appears of record a subsequent deed, between the same parties, purporting to be given to correct the description in the first deed, and fixing the west boundary of the tract thirty-five feet east of the boundary first fixed and platted on the ground, where it does not appear that the grantee ever accepted the second deed or caused it to be recorded and had no remembrance of it; nor is such conclusion overcome by the fact that the description in the paper plat conformed more nearly to the description in the second deed than to that in the first deed, the plat omitting reference to a granite monument controlling the description in the deeds.</p>
