An Oil and Gas Lease from John C. Shearn and Lucille E. Shear, husband and wife, to The Vaught Oil Company, consisting of 250 acres, dated July 25, 1974, filed for record July 31, 1974 and recorded in Volume 87, Page 86 of the Lease Records of Coshocton County, Ohio. The premises described as being situated in Section 6, Township of Bedford, Coshocton County, Ohio, bounded on the North by lands of Ferguson, East by lands of Stillions, South by lands of Ross, and West by lands of Wilhelm (the “Leased Property).

ETM Holdings, LLC acquired a portion of the Leased Property by deed recorded at Official Records Volume 684, Page 332 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, intend 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.
