Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains.&nbsp;</span> The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases.

Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains.&nbsp;</span> The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases.

Haney, praying said Court to disa;prove and to decline to accept the finding of the Board of Appraisal Commissioners heretofore appointed by said Court in the above matter, wherein said Board reported under No. 76 of their findings as filed in the Clerk's Office of said Court, that the 74 acres of land with the improvements thereon, found by said Board to be the property of the moveant was valued at $5,065.00. The grounds of said motion are as follows: 1. That the pr ice for said land and improvements is manifestly inadequate as more fully appears from the affidavits attached hereto, which are asked to be read in support of these eAceptions. 2. That the finding of said Board was based upon a mis- take of law as to the nature and effect of the evidence produced before said Board by the above named party. 3. That the finding of said Board is apparently from the statements contained in its report based upon the physical character of the land alone, without taking into consideration, or at least without giving any effect in its final decision to the income producing canacity of the uroperty, all of which will more readily appear from the affidavits attached hereto, which are asked to be read in support of these exceptions. 3 /C �IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA.

L. Dean, :r. A. Haney and others."The consideration for said conveyance of said strip was the sum of ~2000 . 00 cash paid by your petitioner to the said J. K. Haney.

That no person other than the said J . K. Haney has filed in this proceedin g any claim of right, title, interest or estate in and to said tract or parcel of land, or to the proceeds of condemna tion thereof, and it appears from the record of said proceedin gs that said J.

John K. Haney and Lula A. Haney, his wi.fe. tf< ANSWER OF JOHN K. HANEY AND WLA A. HANEY, his wife, to petition of The State Commission on Conservation and Development against these defendants, arising by reason of f'unds found to be due defendant Haney in the condemnation of his lands. (1) Defendants suggest that there is pending now in t .he Supreme Court of the trni ted States a suit by Via and others invo1ving the right of the Federal Government, and as incident thereto the State Government, to appropriate the lands in the Park area, of which defendants' lands are part, and suggest the impropriety of i cwt•g trying the pending proceeding while the said proceeding :ta ox in the U. s. Supreme Cou.r-t is so . pending, and ask that no hearing be ma.de by the court ~f this matter until disposition be made of the waid proceed:ll.ngo (2) Defendants show that in prooeedi.ngs instituted by IB titioner, commissioner s were appointed to appraise the lands of defendants, which was accordingly done, but without a hearing afforded defendants; that an appraisement was made which was returned subsequently to the Court, to-wit, on the _day of - - - - - - - • 1.9_, and to this report exceptions were filed, but subsequently defendants consented 17 �Jlll. to arbitration before a tribunal consisting of three Judges designated by the Government, to-wit, on or about the ____day of ________ , 19_ _ , and upon a hearing in which witnesses testified, to-wit, on the 2d day of February, 1934, an award was made by s,aid tribunal, and the amount. of damages in favor of defendants was fixed at $4,965.00, which sum on the 6th day of U (3) Mat, 1934, was paid into court, Defendants aver that during the pendenoy of the proceedings for condemnation, and before the arbitration was consented to, to-wit, on the 10th day of June, 1931, defendants conveyed a strip of land 100 feet in width to petitioner upon consideration of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,00Oo00} cash in hand paid, and in further consideration of the agreements of petitioner contained in said writing, to be kept, done and performed by the said petitioner, copy of which agreement is filed with this statement of defense, and mark eel "HANEY A". (4) In t;he event, over the objection of defendants, the oourt decides that it is proper to proceed to determine the rights of petitioner to demand payment of S'J!!,Y part of the amount awarded defendants, your defendants deny the right of petitioner to the said fund, or to any part thereof, an:I set ~orth the statement of facts and the grounds of defense, as ~ollows: �The said agreement of June, 1931, provided for the moving of the residenoe building not over two hundred feet from its then location, and to be placed upon conorete foundation, with its footing to be below frost line depth; and the store building to be moved not over three hundred feet :trom its then location, and to be placed upon a foundation of at least as godii quality as its then present one; and the hen house to be moved not over three hundred feet from its then location, and the said State Commission on Conservation and Development to be liable for any d'.amage to the building and to the furnishings of the dwelling resulting from the moving thereof. The agreement further provided that petitioner would enolose the land conveyed with No. 9-45 woven wire ~ence, the posts for said fence to be either metal or sound looust posts, spaced not exoeeding fourteen feet apart, atid fence to be provided with two gates on eaoh side of the driveway proposed to be constructed over said strip conveyed, said gates to be located at such points as :ta defendant John K. Haney should: designate; that the said State Commission would construct and install a cattle under-pass, the same not to be less than six feet by six feet, and to be located at a point to be selected by said Haney, and such pass and fence to be constructed and completed before the driveway shou.ldl be thrown open to public traffic. It was further a greed that during the construction of the said driveway, the State Commission should be responsible in damages for any harm or damage done or occasioned to the cattle or other livestock of the said defendant, that might wander, stray away or get af.'f the land of the said defendant on acoount of the opening, or oeatruction, or removal of the t ·enoes, or any of them, then enclosing the lands through which the strip ran. -3- n �The sail d land w.as described as part of the land acquired by the State Commission Q condemnat ion proceedin gs pending in the Circuit Court of the County of RJ)ckingham for use as a public ::pa,rke It was further thereby agreed that "when said land shaill. have been acquired by t)e party of t he second part, by judgment or award of said court, the sum of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000oOO ), considera tion for this aaux conveyanc e, shall be deducted from the amount of such judgment or award and shall be treated as a credit on account of the amount of such Judgment or award." Your defendant s say that under a fair: construct ion of the said agreement that it was not intended that defendants should donate to the State Commission the s aid strip of land an~ waive the benefit of the enhanced values o:f said real e- state rendered by the natural improveme nt created by the oonstruot ion of the said driveway. In any c onclemnat ion proceeding for tU,is tdrive·way, defendant s are entitled to be paid for the land taken, and for any injury or damage done to the residue of their lands, over any peculiar benefits derived by them by reason of the opening of said driveway. In estimating the value of the property condemned, the court necessari ly took into considera tion the vllue of the lands of the s a id defendant s then taken, and not the va l ue of the lands that they oonveyetl to the State Commission. In other words, the lands condemned were the lands remaining as the property of defendant s after defendant s 1llad made sale of the strip of land to petitione r. �Defendants, therefore, say that the said strip of land was not embraced in the award, and no provision was made for the payment of its value. Defendants were not eompensated by the State Commission on Conservation and Development for the said driveway- in the awardo In order to enable the said Commission to be entitled to the fund of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000oOO) to be paid, it was essential that this dri-geway itself sh.ould have been considered as part of the Haney traot of land, and that the improvements provided for umder tij.e said agreennent should likewise have been treated as an addition to the vallue of the property, and that provision shouM:. be made for compensating the said defendants for the other things above mentioned that the State Commission was obligated under its agreement to perform for· the said defendants. Defendants further say that the agreement provided, as aforesaid, for the removal of the residence frc:m its then location. The dwelling was not moved but was permitted to remain, and is in part actual.ly located on the driveway. The removal of this dwelling to a proper location,and its location on a good concrete foundation, with its footing below frost line depth, would. have enhanced the value of the property of de~endants that was subsequently oandemne~ 0 The limits of the driveway, as above stated, included part of the dwelling and the entire front yard, and within this yard in front of defendants' dwelling, a fill about six ~ feet high was built. The hen house of defendants was torn down and wreoked,and it was not removed to another looation as provided in the agreement. 21 �The agreement provided, as above stated, for the land by No. 9-49 woven w:bre fence, enolosure of the lll.nd for the placing of posts, metal or sound locust posts, not to exceed fourteen feet apart, with gates, &o. the petit loner also ignored. This provision No wire fence was built and no gates consequently were erected and no posts placed, except a small. plot defendants built as a temporary enclosure for detendantsr cows. The agreement also provided for the construction of a cattle under-pass, under the highway, six feet by six feet 9 suoh pass and fences to be constructed before the driveway was thrown open :fb r public traffio. This provision of the agreement was also ignored It was further agreed that the petitioner shoulil be responsible in damages for any harm or damage done or occasioned to the cattle or other livestock of the said dei'endants that might wander, stray away or get off the lands of the said defendants on account of the openings or destruction or removal of the fences, or any of them, that enclosed the lands through which this strip ran. As above stated, no wire fence was built, and defendamits' lands were thrown open to the public, the cattle of others foraged upon defendants' land, and defendants' cattle and other livest~ck were thus permitted to wander and stray away, and did wander and stray away to the lands of others, with the result that defendants were practically deprived of the use of their lands, and with the further result that defendants' lands were thrown open for foraging stock. In 1931, defendants had thirty-one steers on pasture, besides their own cattle, within their enclosure ; and in iiB: 1932 they had about five to s even head of cattle for three months, but defendants could not -6- �properly care for the stock without enclosures, and in 1933 and 1934 defendants were deprived of the use of the land for pasture,exce pt t he use of a small portion of it for defendants' own stock. The value of this smal1 use of pasture was more tban set 0:. f by the failure of petitioner to provide for enclosure, and the c06t of oaring for the stock exceeded the walue derived from the pasture, as the cattle would not remain upon the premises, but were constantly wandering away-o The J:B·ti t ioner dis:t1egarded its contract ,except to pay the $2,000oOO, and this sum petitioner is now seeking to recoup, so that, in effeot, !)e'titioner is seeking to recover im fran defendants the amount paid, and at the same time to avoid oom.ply"ing with its agreement, thus seeking to gain possession of defendants' property without the payment of a farthing and entail upon defendants loss of use of their property; in substance, to acquire the driveway, to the very great detriment of defendants, wi~hout oost to petitioner. (5} should Your defendants deny that you:r defend.an ta suffer any deduction from the award made to them, and especially that petitioner should be repaid the said $2,000.00, or any part thereof, for the reasons following: (a) The petitioner having failed to comply substantiall y, or in any materl.al degree, in the performance of its agreement, the petitioner should not be now permitted to assert its said claim to the said $2,000.00. �(b) If the said Commissio n had complied with its agreement s hereinabo ve set forth, the market and usable value of the propert y taken would have been enhanced to a sum in excess of the said $2,000oOO . (c) The petitione r should not be permitted to profit by its own wrong. The failure of petitione r to construct the pass-way for cattle under the driveway, the failure to build the fenoes, the failure to remove the buildings to proper location, the doing of which things woull have entailed an expense on petitione r in excess of the said $2.000.00 • and the Commissio n should, therefore , not be permitted to take advantage of its own wrong and recoup from defendant s the consid_eration for the conveyanc e. (d} Tge va lue of the property, if the agreement s of petitione r had been complied with, would have been enhanced so that the award should have been according ly to that extent enlarged, which, together with the loss sustained by defendant s in the use of their lands by reason of the lack of fences and t h e convenien t use of their property, and the failure to construct the passway, amounted to a latge slllll to-wit, a s um in excess of the said eiash payment. other of money, On the hand, defendant s have sustained very heavy loss and damage, as shown by bill of particula rs filed herewith, by reason of failure to do the things agreed by petitione r, as aforesaid , to be done by it, and to an amount in eacess of the said sum of $2.000.00 prayed by petitione r.

In reply to the rules issued by said .Arbitration Board on August 16 , 1933 , and in reply to your call therein made , the undersigned begs to say : (a) There is no number on the map of the lands in Rockingham County given this clai m by the Appraisal Board , as the same is based entirely on a min eral right . The claim was filed, as is shown by the papers heretofore filed in this matter, but the Appraisal Board did not make any allowance for minerals . (b) This mineral right exists in 235 acres of land within the Park area. (c) s the claim now under consid eration is based entirely upon the mineral rights therein. asserted, the requirements in this section d o not in their entirety apply •. Suffice it to say here: (1) That, although the claim of ten thousand dollars was asserted by exaeptant before the AI>Praisal Board for mineral LAW OFFI C ES GEO. S. HARNSBERGER rights , nothing was allowed by said Board . HARRISONBURG, VA . l't& �--2--The geological reports for both the state of Virginia and the united States show that said mineral rights are located within the manganese ore-bearing bel.t along the western slope of' the Blue Ridge Mountains. vey. See Bulletin 17 of the Virginia Geological Sur- This survey was prepared in co-operation with the United States Geological Survey. The lands in which said mineral rights exist have been partially prospected, and ore of approved analysis has been found, and, from ~uch prospecting as has been done, it is believed that said ores exist in oommeroial quantities. as this tract of land is located about mid- way between the Palmer lands on Naked Creek and the Harnsberger lands at Elkton and in the same ore-bearing belt, it is believed that the statement made by ¥.c.J. Bartells and referred to in the reply made by the Palmers is equally applicable to the mineral rights of exceptant , and the statement attributed to Mr.Bartells and contained therein is asked to be read in connection herewith. The -~10, 000. 00 claimed in this matter is not the full value of the royalty on the ore sought to be taken in this proceeding, but , as the property has to be developed, and as it takes money for such development, no larger sum is asked . The Appraisal Board did not make any allowance for incide tal damage to that portion of the mineral lands which are left out of the Parle area. In this the .Appraisal Board erred, because it is a well known and recognized fact in mining that the greater the acreage the more valuable the mining interest, for the simple reason that it gives more area for prospecting and development . Your exaeptant, therefore, asks that a proportionate allowance be made for that part of his land lying outside of the Park area. Your exceptant requests that this matter be heard at the same time with the other exceptions in regard to the manganese LAW OFFICES GEO. S. HARNSBERGER HARRISONBURG .

(2) Because the finding or findings in question are so mani- festly inad equate when considered together with the evidence before the court , as to justify a finding that in making such finding or findings the Board of Appraisal Commissioners or some of them were affected or influenced by some mistake of law as to the nature and effect of the evidence , with reference to which such finding or findings were made . Wherefore , the. said Annie E.

The grounds of said motion are as follows: (l) That the price per acre allowed for said land is mani- festly inadequate and confiscatory , because said lands are worth at least $12.50 to $15.00 per acre, as is shown by the affidavits attached hereto. (2) That the finding of said Board was based upon a mistake of law as to the nature and effect of the evidence produced before said Board by the above named party. (3) That the finding of said Board is, apparently, from the statements contained in its report, based upon the physical charac ter of the land alone, without taking into consideratio n, or at least without giving any effeot in its final decision to, the inoome-produ aing oapaoity of the land or to the fact that all such grazing lands in the Blue RidgeMountai ns are being taken under these condemnation proceedings, and that like grazing lands cannot be purcha sed for any such amount as allowed to the movant.
