Gray v. Gray

In 1935 the appellee William C. Gray, as administrator of the estate of Catherine C. Gray, deceased, filed in the court having jurisdiction of the administration of said estate, a proceeding to sell real estate to provide funds to pay debts. Upon a showing that the appellants owned an interest in such real estate and that they were nonresidents of the State, the court ordered notice to be given them by publication. When proof of such publication was made, the appellants defaulted and said real estate was afterwards sold by the administrator pursuant to the order of the court.
