Texas Supreme Court
Appeal from Montgomery. Tried below before the Hon. James Masterson. The opinion states the case.
1Opinion of the Court
Stayton, Associate Justice.—
This suit was brought by the widow and children of M. M. Uzzell, deceased, to recover a tract of land, basing their right so to do upon the claim that the property was the homestead of M. M. Uzzell and his family and had never been abandoned.
The property was purchased by M. M. Uzzell in the year 1865, and in the succeeding year he married and settled upon the land and there lived until early in the year 1868, at which time he removed to Tuspan, in the republic of Mexico, after having sold all of his personal property except such as he carried with him to Mexico.
