Supreme Court of Missouri January 15, 1873 (Duke v. Brandt)

Adams, Judge,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This record is in such confusion, that it is difficult to extract a satisfactory statement of what was done in the Circuit Court.

The facts, however, seem to be about as follows : Lafayette C. Thruston was the husband of plaintiff, Nancy E. Duke, and died intestate in 1863 or 1864, and" his widow Nancy intermarried with the plaintiff, Wm. Duke.
