Slater, S.
This proceeding is one for a compulsory accounting and for a construction of the will.
The decedent died October 17, 1931, leaving him surviving a widow and seven children, all of full age. One son, Cyrus W. Horton, Jr., died intestate on February 20, 1932, without leaving any children. The decedent’s widow died intestate on October 22, 1932. The will appoints the wife and the daughter, Sara D. Horton, as executrices.
The balance of the testator’s property, under the seventh paragraph of the will, was to be held in trust for his wife “ so long as she may live,” with power of invasion.
