Kinnaird v. Lowery
Mississippi Supreme Court · Decided March 15, 1912 · Smith

Counsel

McClure & Conger, for appellant., F. M. Glass, for appellee.

Kinnaird v. Lowery

Opinion of the Court

Smith, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The evidence in this cause is wholly insufficient to show that appellant is not a suitable person to have the care and custody of her own children. It is true that they have expressed a wish to remain with their grandmother; but this is only one of the facts, and by no means a controlling one, which the court should take into consideration in determining who is entitled to their care and custody.

*563The decree of the court below is reversed, and decree here awarding to appellant the custody of her children.

Reversed.
