An Oil and Gas Lease from Dale S. and Mabel Sharples, husband and wife, to R.E. Riggs, consisting of 72 acres, dated June 21, 1952, filed for record September 19, 1952 and recorded in Volume 49, Page 262 of the Lease Records of Coshocton County, Ohio.

ETM Holdings, LLC acquired a portion of the Leased Property by deed recorded at Official Records Volume 668, Page 136 of the Records of Coshocton County, Ohio.

The Lease has expired by its terms because neither oil nor gas or their constituents is being found on the Leased Property in paying quantities and the Leased Property is not being operated in the search for oil or gas.

Please be advised that because of the failure and breach of the Lease, ETM Holdings, LLC, the current fee simple owner of a portion of the Leased Property, intends to file for record an affidavit of forfeiture pursuant to ORC 5301.332 with the County Recorder of Coshocton County, Ohio, if you do not release the Lease of record within thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this Notice.
