From "Milton Bailey, Reuben Kann, and Lillian Roland, Executors of the last will and testament of Charles J. Roland, late of Manchester Township, York County, Pennsylvania, deceased" to "William F. Sentz, of the City of York, County of York and State of Pennsylvania" on 24 April 1926. Executors had petitioned Orphans Court because his "personal estate was insufficient for the payment of his debts" after taking "an inventory of all personal property and a just and true account of all debts" and having received an offer of $5,000.00 at private sale from William F. Sentz for a portion described as No. 2A which was better than could be obtained at public sale. They were granted permission (at a hearing on 8 Mar 1926) to sell the tract to William F. Sentz. So this deed is for a "lot of ground situate in the Village of Emigsville, Manchester Township, York County, Pennsylvania, bounded and described as follows, to wit
