Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court February 27, 1897 (Packard v. Old Colony Railroad)

Allen, J.

The petitioners contend that the deed by their ancestor was governed by the statute of uses, and that there was no legally existing cemetery corporation, and therefore the *96deed was ineffectual for want of an existing cestui que use; or, if otherwise, that at any rate it conveyed no more than a life estate, leaving a reversion in the grantor’s heirs.
