WILL Is her husband entitled to a life

S. 3. VAUGHAN.
The husband is entitled to a life inter-
est In his dead wlfes real estate, and
no will Of his wife can defeat this right.
Whether a father is entitled to his sons
estate who dies unmarried and without
will depends on the age Of the son and
the source from which the sons estate
came II the son owned real estate In
herltod from his mother and dies under
the ago of twenty-one years, tho estate
goes back to his mothers kindred. II he
dies after he Is twenty-one and he is
