Supreme Court of Pennsylvania March 21, 1887 (Hellerman's Appeal)

Mr. Justice Trunkey

delivered the opinion of the court March 21st, 1887.

The language of the will must be interpreted according to its proper acceptation, or with as near approach to that acceptation, as the context and state of the circumstances existing at the time of its execution will admit. A mistake in the wilL cannot be corrected, unless it clearly appears by fair inference from the whole.
