Farley v. Farley

The question before us arises on the construction of the will of Mrs. N. A. Fitzhugh. ■

Mrs. Fitzhugh devised to her-niece Mrs. Mary Goodman certain real estate; to her niece and nephew by marriage, Cora Ann Cotton and Horace Lacton Fitz-hugh, certain other real estate; to Jennie Hill (colored), *326a faithful servant, certain other real estate for life, with the remainder to a university named in the will. Then follows the clause which stands for construction, viz.: “The remainder of my real estate, with the dwelling houses and outhouses, I give to James Osborne and heirs of Lucy Parley, equally.”
