Bob Willis and his wife died before 1910, leaving several children. Their son, Bob Willis, and his wife, and Dave Willis, a grandson, and his wife remained on the described property. Dave Willis claimed the property as his after his father’s death in 1944. Dave Willis’ widow, Hattie Willis, remained on the property and farmed the property with their son Allen Willis, the cross-complainant. During the time after the death of the original owner, Bob Willis, his grandson Dave Willis, and his wife, Hattie, together with the cross-complainant Allen Willis, had complete control of the land. They farmed the property; they fenced it; they leased it; they paid taxes on the land; and they did all acts consistent with ownership.” 300 So.2d at 459 .”
