Erie Co. Index No.: (16) 30-51-224, conveyed to Plaintiffs by Deed from Mary Jane Deck to Plaintiffs dated January 19, 2000 and recorded January 19, 2000 in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds for Erie County.

That the Plaintiffs' Grantor executed a Mortgage in favor of Defendant, First Investment Company dated March 2, 1971 and recorded March 3, 1971 at Erie County Record Book 889, P. 249. Said Mortgage has not been marked "satisfied" by the Defendant, despite the owners having no contact with the Defendant, First Investment Company in over twenty-four years.
