In re the Application for Letters of Administration of the Goods
New York Supreme Court
Appeal from an order of the surrogate of the county of Mew York, directing letters of administration on the unadministered estate of Katharina Strutzkober, deceased, to be issued to Mary Kunkel, and denying the application of the public administrator for the same.
1Opinion of the CourtDaniels, J.
The deceased intestate, Katharina Strutzkober, left no descendant, but left her husband, surviving her, to whom letters of administration upon her personal estate were issued. He afterwards died, leaving a part of that estate unadministered. The value of the part so left has not been stated, but as the whole estate was of no greater value than the sum of sixty-four and 19-100 dollars, the residue still remaining to be administered is probably so small as to have rendered it the duty of the public ad*940ministrator to have acquiesced in the decision of the surrogate and thereby avoided the danger…
