Supreme Court of Minnesota December 21, 1898, Nos. 11,264—(158) (Jones v. Jones)

lead-opinion

COLLINS, J.

We are again called upon to construe the provisions of G. S. 1894, § 4470. John P. Jones died testate, in 1889, the owner of a farm of 160 acres, of which 80 acres was his statutory homestead. His wife survived him, as did five children. The latter had attained their majority long prior to their father’s decease.
