BARRETT, C.

[ 301] This is a demand for services by Stella E. Clark Wells against the estate of William Claude Allen. The services were rendered over a period of twenty years and the demand alleged that their reasonable value was $21,900. The trial court found “the issues” generally for the claimant and allowed her $6500. Both the administrator [302] and the claimant appeal from the $6500 judgment; the administrator because there was an allowance in any sum, and the claimant because she was not allowed, in addition to the $6500, the balance or difference in the total sum claimed, $15,400.
