Senting the proceeds derived by said
Administrator from the sale of
certain farming equipment, live stock
and furniture on said farm to be
the property of the cross complain
ant, Pearl Shultz, and for the appoint
ment of Trustee to convey said

for an order restraining the complain
ants in the original Bill of Complaint
filed in these proceedings from prose-
cutting the same until a hearing and
deter mination of the matters set forth
, in the Cross-Bill Of Complaint, and
for other and further relief. The Bill
states that John Calvin Lint, uncle
of Pearl Shultz, and Julia D. Lint, his
wife, were the owners of the afore-
said farm, as well as the Spring useG
in connection Herewith, the same
having been conveyed to them during
the year 1892 and were likewise the
owners Of certain farming equipment,
live stock and furniture located upon
and used in connection with said farm.
That for some time prior to May /,
1915, the said John Calvin Lint and
Julia d. Lint lived upon said farm at
tempting to operate and run the same.
That at said time, the said John Cal
vim Lint was eighty-tWo years Of age
and his wife was Seventy-eight years
Of age and both were in poor physical
health; that they were unable to care
for themselves or their said farm,
and, being in need Of someone to as
sist and take care Of them, they did
on the first day Of May, 1916, enter
INTO an oral agreement with the said
Pearl ShultZ, under which they
promised and agreed that if she
would leave her home and family and
come to live with them and take care
Of them in their old age during the
remainder Of their respective lives
and give them the necessary care and
attention needed during their de-
cIining years, that they would give
the said Pearl Shultz said farm and
all stock, farming equipment and
furniture thereon situated and that
the survivor Of them would execute
and deliver to said Pearl Shultz a
deed for said real and personal prop
erty. That the said Pearl Shultz ac-
cepted said offer, and on May /. 1916,
abandoned the farm on which she was
living in Fayette County, Pennsyl-
Vania, and persuaded her husband.
Merrill Shultz, to go to the said Lint
farm, in order that he might do the
necessary work on the same while
your cross-complainant took care of
the said John Calvin Lint and Julia
ID. Lint and otherwise render them
all necessary attention during their
declining years as they had requested
That the said Pearl Shultz carried
out her agreement in good faith and
her said husband, at her request, did
all the necessary hard labor upon
said farm while the said Pearl ShultZ

and Julia d. Lint all the necessary
care and attention. That thereafter
the said John Calvin Lint and Julia D.
Lint both steadily declined in health.
neccSsitating additional nursing and
care, all of which was performed by
the said Pearl Shultz and continued
uninterruptedly as to both the said
John Calvin Lint and Julia d. Lint un-
til the latter's death on October 4,
1916, and thereafter continued un-
mtelruptedly as to the said John Cal
vim Lint until his death on April 8,
l947. That shortly before the death of
the said John Calvin Lint, he had
made arrangements to be conveyed
to the neighboring town of Friends
VILE for the purpose of having pre-
pared deed conveying aforesaid real
and personal property to the said
Pearl Shultz, but because of his poor
physical condition was unable to
make said trip and thereafter died
before he could execute and deliver
deed for the same to her. That after
the death of the said John Calvin
Lint. Walter W. Dawson was ap-
pointed Administrator Of his estate
in the Orphans Court for Garrett
County, Maryland. Said Administrator
has since made sale of the farming
equipment, live stock and furniture
on said farm in the sum of Six
Hundred Thirty-siX Dollars and
Thirty-five Cents ($G36.35), which is
still in his hands.
The Bill further recites that the
said Pearl Shultz performed all the
agreements upon her part entered in
to with the said John Calvin Lint and
Julia ID. Lint, his wife, to their full
satisfaction and the consideration on
her part has been fully performed,
and that, therefore, said real estate
and the proceeds derived from the
sale Of said personal property belongs
to her. The Bill further recites that

testate on April s, 1917, leaving sur
