In re Meade's Estate

Ritz, Judge:

The only controversy involved here is whether the father of S. A. Meade, deceased, or his reputed widow is entitled to administer upon his estate. A short time after Meade’s death the reputed widow made application to the clerk of the county court of Mercer county for the appointment of an administrator for his estate, waiving her right to be appointed as such, but nominating a person whose appointment she desired, as she had a right to do if she was entitled to administration herself.
