No. 7410.
    Andrew W. Metcalfe vs. Charles E. Alter.
    To entitle one to a homestead, he must be the head of a family who are dependent on him for support, and therefore a childless widower, whose mother, brothers, and sisters do not live with him, has no claim to it.
    One of several co-proprietors is not the owner of any separate or distinct part of the land, and while he holds in indivisión cannot claim the homestead exemption.
