588 S.W.2d 542 (1979)

Harold GRAVES, Petitioner, v. Dorothy SAWYER and Murrell Goins, Respondents.

Supreme Court of Tennessee.

October 15, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William H. Goddard, Strand & Goddard, Dandridge, for petitioner.

Jerry K. Galyon, Galyon & Stokes, Sevierville, for respondents.

OPINION

COOPER, Justice.

Certiorari was granted in this case to consider whether a voluntary, unconditional payment of interest on a promissory note tolls the statute of limitations to the date of payment. We hold that it does.

On April 29, 1969, respondents, Dorothy Sawyer and Murrell Goins, executed a promissory note in the amount of $2500.00 payable to Ruby Graves and Harold Graves. The note was due 180 days after execution.
