Rifles in Favor OF Defendants In Par
tition Suit Involving Three
Generations and $4,000
In Farm Land.
AN INTERESTING OPINION
Held That Widow of John Lishtfoot
Was Not Allowed Her Dover
Third In Addition 10
Life Estate.

The Ightfoot-Lightfoot partition
suit involving three generations of a
well known Lee county family and
about s2oa1li in farm land. was de-
cided by Judge Henry Bank. Jr., in IA
vor Of the defendants. in the district
court at Fort Madison. where the case
was tried q few weeks ago.
The farm property was situated in
Harrison township and was formerly
owned By John Ldghtfoot, father of
ex-Sheriff Frank Lightfoot By the
viii of John Lightfoot the property
went to his widow during her life
time, then to pass into possession OF
her son Frank. Since then both the
widow and Sheriff Lightfoot died, the
possession OF the property being as
sumed by heirs of the sheriff. The
suit was then brought By the heirs OF
John Lightfoot, the plaintiffs claiming
that the widow was entitled to DOVER
third OF the property in addition to her
life estate and contendsng their rights
to this one-third The point which
therefore required settlement was
whether or not the widow Of John
Lghtfoot could be allowed her dover
third in addition to her life estate as
provided for In the WILL In his writ
ten opinion Judge Bank said:
Tn constituting the will in question,
the court finds that to allow the wild
ow to take distributive share, or
one-third in fee, in addition to the
life estate devised to her by the will,
would be Inconsistent with the provis-
ions of the will. At prior term,
this court came to the same conclus-
ion in overriding the plaintiffs de-
murrer to the defendants answer.
THE court has not overlooked the
we'll established rule that under the
law in force at the time Of the tesla

I Mohn vs. Mohn, us Iowa, 22SS. APP
/ proves and adheres to.
In the opinion OF this court. the
rule is now we'll settled that if to al
/ low the widow to take a distributive
share il fee is inconsistent with and
contrary to tho int OF the testator,
as shown by proper construction OF
the will, then the widow cannot take
both under the Will and a distribu-
tive share also. and in such case her
election to take under the will de-
/ prives and bars her right to a dis
tributiye share in fee.
From the testimony in the case at
bar, it is plain that the widow her
sell always understood that she had
only life estate in the property OF
her deceased husband, and never
claimed that she was entitled to a
distributive share IN fee.
In the case of Parker VS.. Parker.
12s Iowa. page 600, the rule an
nounced Is that a widow may take
both life estate under the win and
her distributive share under the law
unless the viii declares otherwise, or
different intent is clearly manifest
cd therein.
In las Iowa, in the case of Mohn
rs. Mohn, page 2SS, the supreme court
held that under the prior statute the
widow might ordinarily take both a
life estate and q distributive share in
her husbands property, but that
where by the terms of the VIII she was
given life estate in the property and
the claim for her distributive share
in addition TO the devise created such
an inconsistency as to defeat some
provision of the viii. she could not
take bot, but was required to elect
which she would take.
Applying the rules, as above stat
ed. to the case at bar, the court finds
that the widow by electing 10 take IN
der the VIII OF her husband waived
her right to take distributive share
In fee, under the law for the reason
that to allow her to do SO would be
inconsistent with the plain intent of
the testatcr and inconsistent with the
provisions of the will.
'.As to the question of estoppel. /
find that while there is no evidence OF
any declaration or promise made by
the widow directly TO her son Frank
Lightfoot as to his ownership of the
farm, or that she had no distributiye
share therein, yet from all the facts
and circumstances proved by the evi-
dence, the court finds that her con-
duct was such as to estop her from
claiming a distributive share in fee.
at is shown by the evidence that
she lived with her son on the farm:
that during all the time he acted as
absolute owner and exercised acts OF
ownership over the property n ques-
ton: that he made valuable improve
ments, with her knowledge, and with
out any objection on her part
The evidence shows that she must
have known that her son Frank was
claiming the property as his own;
that he was making valuable improve
ments thereon, and treating it in
every respect as his own individual
property, and exercising all the acts
! of ownership. without any objection on
her part.
