The Minnesota Land Title Association was formed in 1908 as a professional association to secure the integrity of land titles throughout the state. The organization grew out of the interest of abstracters from around the state to form an association to ensure the survival of their businesses after the introduction of the "Torrens" system of land registration in Minnesota in 1901 and to "standardize" the compilation and preparation of abstracts. The real estate Bar mistakenly thought at the time that the Torrens system would eventually eliminate the usefulness of abstracts of title. The first Minnesota Land Title Association constitution was written in 1911. The initial planning meetings were attended by William H. Pryor of Duluth, Mr. Woodhull of the Merrill Abstract Company of Minneapolis, W. S. Jenkins of the Real Estate Title Insurance Company of Minneapolis, L. R. Moyer of Montevideo, Minnesota, H. C. Soucheray of St. Paul, R. B. Daniel of Marshall, Minnesota, H. Andree of Long Prairie, Minnesota, Joe Mushel of Foley, Minnesota, C. C.

Villa Collyers McDowell, of Olivia, Minnesota, was elected the first woman president of the Minnesota Land Title Association in 1932. The business of title insurance proliferated after World War II and many abstract companies became title agencies during and after the 1950's, when title insurance underwriters expanded to a national scope of operations. Minnesota's first abstracter's license law was enacted in 1957. The federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA") in 1974, an attempt to prevent abusive practices such as kickbacks and unearned fees and to provide information to consumers before closing by way of disclosures and other advance information, changed the land title business. Members of the Minnesota Land Title Association are abstractors, title insurance agents, closing agents, title insurance underwriters, and attorneys. Henry C.

The airship built 1918-1921 at Cardington, Bedfordshire, England, by the Short Brothers and was designed as a North Sea scouting ship, with high speed, high altitude capability to escape from fighter aircraft, and long duration. The committee of inquiry that investigated the disaster concluded that no allowance had been made for aerodynamic stresses in the design of the airship and, although no loads had been placed on the structure during testing beyond those in its expected normal use, that the effects of the manoeuvres made had weakened its hull, resulting in the crash. The addition of a mast mooring modification on one end, the addition of counterbalancing ballast on the other end, and the weight savings in its design weakened the hull of the craft longitudinally.

In 1857, the village of St. Mary, Minnesota, was laid out by St. Paul investors Alexander Cathcart and William R. Marshall on land that was owned by Thomas Coleman and John Cathcart and was intended as a prospective industrial town. These men were drawn to the area by the early success of sawmills in Lakeland, Minnesota, and Afton, Minnesota. The development of the St. Mary's Point, Minnesota, area has had a long history. According to W. H. C. Folsom, James A. Carr surveyed the point in 1855 and Thomas W. Coleman platted St. Mary Village, Minnesota, there, across the mouth of Bolles Creek from Afton, Minnesota. Joseph R. Brown apparently bought the land so that his half-sister, Lydia Ann Carli, and her husband, Paul Carli ( -1846,) who had been one of the first settlers in the Stillwater area, could open a farm. Brown hired Jake Fisher and Joseph Hall to build a two-story frame house on the point. Although older settlers referred to this place as Brown's Farm, Brown never lived there or operated it and it was operated by Paul Carli until his death from drowning near Catfish Bar (Afton, Minnesota) while retreiving a hunted duck, leaving his wife with five youngsters and the farm to care for. When Lydia Carli moved back to Stillwater, Minnesota, in 1846, J. R. Brown sold the western part of the farm to Lemuel Bolles, a New Yorker, who built the first flouring mill in the valley on the creek over the winter of 1845-1846. Early settlers also thought Brown owned land north of the creek as late as 1849. In 1848, land sales in the valley began and speculators also began to buy.

In 1846, Gaspare Bruce sold his claim on the point to Henry Sibley, who was the agent for the American Fur Company at Mendota, Minnesota. Bruce was an old voyageur and an employee of Sibley's who had retired to the Afton, Minnesota, area. French-Canadian families lived in the area from 1837. In 1844, Sibley sold the claim to Joseph R. Brown, founder of Dacotah (now Stillwater,) Minnesota.
