Vines v. Vines
Tennessee Supreme Court
FROM WASHINGTON. Appeal from the Chancery Court Of Washington County. — 'Hon. E. K. Bachman, Special Chancellor.
1Opinion of the Court
Mr. .Justice McKinney
delivered the opinion of the Court.
This suit involves, primarily, the construction of certain items of the will of F. B. Vines, who died in Washington county, Tenn., in December, 1917, the owner of a valuable estate, both real and personal.
The will was written about three years before his death.
He first made provision for his father, but his father predeceased him, and hence the bequest to his father lapsed and became a part of the general estate.
He made other bequests, about which there is no contention, and it is unnecessary to refer to these in detail.
