1Opinion of the Court

Underwood, Judge.

Thé appeal in this year’s support proceeding was transferred here by the Supreme Court. The issue at trial was whether plaintiff, who was seeking year’s support, was married by common law to deceased and was, therefore, his widow upon his death. Verdict and judgment answered this question in the affirmative, and we likewise affirm in this appeal by the administratrix.

1. In Enumeration 1 the administratrix contends that the court erroneously admitted into evidence, over her hearsay objection, a newspaper obituary listing plaintiff as the wife of the deceased. We find no error.
