Caviness v. Rushton

The appellant in the first paragraph of her complaint set forth the following instrument:

“ October 13, 1882.

“ I promise Emily Caviness to give her two thousand dollars at my death to take care of her children with, which she claims of my estate. She has been in my family nineteen years and a faithful servant, and it is my will to her.”

And alleged that it was executed by "William R. Rushton in "his lifetime, and that Rushton died some time after the execution of the instrument, and that the appellee is the administrator of his estate.

We do not think the instrument declared on can be re*501garded…
