I was spelling both womens' names wrong so it wasn't producing a hit. When I searched you gram's name it came up. You can search this site for free; but to print the records you have to pay; so I will just transcribe what the deed says. "I, Sylvia M. Nelson, of Medford, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, for consideration paid, grant to Lydia M. Ruoppo, a single woman, and May Ollila, a single woman, as joint tenants, both of Quincy, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, with Quitclaim Covenants, a certain parcel of land, with the buildings thereon, situated in said Quincy, being Lot No. 8 on a plan dated November 1873, recorded with Norfolk Deeds, book 449, page 109 and bounded and described as follows: NORTHERLY: By Town Hill Street, about fifty (50) feet. EASTERLY: By Lot No. 9 on said plan, about ninety-five and 05/100 (95.05) feet. SOUTHERLY: By Lots numbered 5 and 6 on said plan, about fifty-three and 5/10 (53.5) feet, and WESTERLY: By Lot No. 7 on said plan, about seventy-six and 6/10 (76.6) feet AREA: 4,293.7 square feet of land, more or less. For reference to title, see Norfolk Deeds, Book 2243, page 137. Being the same premises conveyed to the grantor and her late husband, Alfred Nelson, as tenants by the entirety by deed of Robina L. K. [Purdon] {Purdon typed in above}, dated Aug. 5, 1939, recorded with Norfolk Deeds, Book 2245, page 128. Said Alfred Nelson deceased at Quincy, Massachusetts on Sept. 6, 1941. And we respectively release to the grantee all rights of tenancy by the curtesy, dower, homestead and other interests in the granted premises. Witness my hand and seal this 5th day of August, 1959 Sylvia M. Nelson {signature} COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Norfolk SS August 5, 1959 Then personally appeared the above named, Sylvia M. Nelson, and acknowledged the foregoing instrument to be her free act and deed before me Donald M. Jackson {signature} Notary Public Recorded Aug. 6, 1959, at 10h, 44m AM" Unfortunately, the previous deeds are too early and aren't online. They would have to be researched in person. I hope this helps somehow. Good luck, Lisa Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
