Benton v. . Baucom

On the hearing the question for decision was properly made to depend upon the construction of the following item in the will of James 0. Hargett:

“Item 5th. I give and bequeath to my eldest stepdaughter, Sarah Myers (now Sarah Y. Benton) a home and support with her mother during her single days, and fifty acres of land at her mother’s death, of the tract I now live on, to include all the buildings, to have and to hold her lifetime, and then to her lawful heirs, if any, and if not, then it is to go to my own three children, or their heirs, together with all the personal estate I have given her.”
