Gunnells v. Faulkner

Opinion of the Court

Gilbert, J.

Wliere a testator bequeaths and devises all of his estate to his wife for life, with remainder to two named brothers, “and at their death to my brothers’ bodily heirs,” the child of a brother not named in the will, who died prior to the execution of the will, takes no interest thereunder: The judgment of the trial court properly so construed the will in this ease. Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur. J. T. Murray, for plaintiff. B. T. Moseley, for defendants.
