In Re Estate of Dvorak

Supreme Court of Iowa

Decided April 10, 1931No. 40246PublishedCited by 8 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtGrimm, J.

Frank Dvorak was a farmer living near the towns of Lisbon and Mt. Vernon, in Linn County, Iowa. His wife died in 1914 and he remained a widower. He continued to live on his farm a few miles south of Mt. Vernon and Lisbon up to a short time prior to his death. Sometime prior to his death, he sold the farm and bought a small house in Lisbon. This was in 1926. His two daughters, sometime prior to 1924, married and left home, leaving the father without a housekeeper.

It appears that sometime about 1924 the deceased developed some heart trouble which progressed as the years passed on.
