There seems % be impression among tho

which has held that It conveys clearly the in
tentions OF the testator. Mr. Eddinger a man
OF advanced age. and died a few weeks after he
made the will His property was valued at only
5000. and q large part of that amount must have
already been expended in upholdng the will. Tho

OF the will Is give s.. 900 to the son. then life
