Cannon's Estate

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

1Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

Edward E. Cannon died in 1883 and by his will his widow was made executrix of his estate. She had the “disposal” of all of his property, and after her death whatever remained of the real estate or personal property in her possession was to be equally divided between his two daughters. One of the daughters married, but died in 1889, leaving her husband, the appellant, and a daughter surviving. The widow, as executrix, never filed an account and appellant, as administrator of his wife’s estate, petitioned for a citation against his mother-in-law for an accounting of the Cannon estate.
