1Opinion of the CourtHarman, J.
Wade Hampton Harris, a 95 year old resident of Augusta County, died on May 2, 1973, seized and possessed of real and personal property there. His heirs at law were two sons, seven daughters and one grandson, the only child of a deceased daughter. This suit was instituted in January, 1974, under Code § 64.1-88 by the proponents, the two sons and a daughter of Harris, against the opponents, his other heirs at law, to establish what the proponents alleged to be Harris’ last will and testament. If this will is established the proponents will be the principal beneficiaries.
