Receipt of Payment John Hickey purchased the property from William Rooney for total of $950.

William Rooney filed a receipt of payment from John Hickey in the amount of $700 with the balance of $250 due in one year (8% interest).

Lot 1 in Block 17 Sec. 19 T. 39 N.R. 14 E 3rd PM

William Rooney was also required to provide John Hickey with an abstract of title.

There is a comment about $50 being part of a refund if a title abstract was not satisfactory (explains the purchase price of $900).

Note: The abstract of title requirement was probably the result of the 1871 Chicago Fire.
