Opinion of the Court
On the final settlement of the estate of her deceased husband, the appellee, who was his widow by a third marriage, claimed one-third of the personal property left for distribution. The children of the deceased by his first wife answered, stating their claim to the entire personal estate. A demurrer was sustained to their answer, and distribution ordered to the widow, of one-third of the personal estate.
. The proper result was reached by the ruling. The 24th section of the act regulating descent, 1 G. & H. 295, so far as personal property is involved, makes no distinction between the widow of a first or any subsequent marriage.
The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
