Succession of Tyson

Supreme Court of Louisiana

Decided January 4, 1937No. 34095Published

1DissentOdom, Justice

I think the so-called “Gibson children,” that is, those children who were born to Richard Gibson and Louisa Tyson, were the legitimate heirs of their parents. The testimony warrants this conclusion under the cases of Tyson v. Raines, 165 La. 625, 115 So. 803; Boykin v. Jenkins, 174 La. 335, 140 So. 495; and Succession of Anderson, 176 La. 66, 145 So. 270. I dissent.
