Roberts v. Rhodes (p. 289)

 1902 Grantor (Roberts, the Plaintiff) conveys land to School District “it being understood that this grant is made only for school or cemetery purposes.”

The School District used the land for school purposes for over 60 years and then conveyed the land to Rhodes. The land has ceased to be used for school purposes.

What was the state of the title under the 1902 deed? FSD? FSSCS? Or Fee Simple Absolute?
