Opinion

DIXON, Presiding Judge.

Plaintiff brought a suit for reformation of deed and for title by adverse possession. Defendants appeal from a judgment in favor of plaintiff on both counts. The ultimate issue is whether fraud will support reformation and the sufficiency of the evidence. The judgment is affirmed.

The following facts are uncontested. Defendants, Roy and Margaret Denny, acquired property at the Lake of the Ozarks in the early nineteen fifties, including the parcel which is the subject of this action. The description in the warranty deed conveying to the Dennys the parcel in dispute begins at the southwest corner of a quarter quarter section of section 10, township 40 north, range 16 west. The description continues north 360 feet along the quarter quarter section line “to the center of a small cove of the Lake of the Ozarks,” then northeast 780 feet down the center of the cove, east 585 feet and then south, west and north until the description closes. A survey of the general area which was prepared in 1955 by a Mr. Stanton, County Surveyor, is reproduced below.
