Phillips v. Phillips

December 8, 1939, appellant, Alpha Phillips, widow of T. J. Phillips, deceased, brought suit in the White chancery court against J. D. Phillips and Effie Phillips, his wife, and the Security Bank of Searcy, Arkansas, in which she sought to have her dower rights in certain lands, belonging to her deceased husband, awarded to her and also for an accounting for her share of the rents and income derived from said lands subsequent to her husband’s death. Upon a trial, the court denied appellant the relief sought and dismissed her complaint for want of equity. This appeal followed.
