    In Noblin v. Wilson, 187 Okla. 173, 101 P.2d 805, we held that the findings of the trial court should be strongly persuasive, and should not be set aside unless this Court can say, in equity and good conscience, that the conclusion reached by the trial court is against the clear weight of the evidence.

  3. Armstrong v. White

    251 P. 46 (Okla. 1926)   Cited 11 times

    The court, upon hearing thereon, denied the plaintiff's petition for new trial. The plaintiff then prosecuted her appeal to this court, and in an opinion in said cause, 102 Okla. 156, 227 P. 130, this court reviewed the evidence therein and reversed the district court, with directions to cancel said conveyance and allow the plaintiff her costs. The defendant filed a motion for rehearing, which was thereafter denied.

  4. Webb v. Burnam

    111 Okla. 248 (Okla. 1925)   Cited 12 times

    "Wherever it is shown that a transfer of property was obtained from a person of feeble mind, and that no consideration, or a very inadequate consideration was given in return, a very strong presumption of fraud arises, and unless it is successfully rebutted, a court of equity will set aside the deed so obtained." See, also, White v. Armstrong, 102 Okla. 156, 227 P. 130. We think the court committed error in not taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the deed transaction itself, together with all the other evidence of the mental condition of the grantor in determining his competency to execute the deed and the fraud of the grantee in the transaction.
