    No mortgagee whose mortgage shall have been recorded or registered before the sale, shall be divested of his rights in and to the real estate unless, after written notice shall have been given to him by the purchaser for a period  of six months, he shall neglect to redeem the real estate by paying the amount  actually paid by the purchaser, including taxes and assessments subsequently  made, together with interest at the rate of six per cent from the date of  payment and all costs or charges which the purchaser may have been by law  obliged to pay.  Notice to every mortgagee who is a resident of the county  shall be served personally.  If he is not a resident it shall be addressed to  him by mail at his place of residence as stated in the mortgage or any  assignment thereof.
