Ada Naylor, Respondent, v. M. G. Naylor et al., Appellants.
Abatement and Revival—Death Pending Arpead. An action to set aside a decree of adoption is of a personal nature and abates upon plaintiff’s death pending appeal.
Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for Yakima county, Grady, J., entered August 25, 1916, in favor of the plaintiff, vacating a decree of adoption, tried to the court.
Dismissed.
Parker & Holden and Charles F. Bolin, for appellants.
J. Lenox Ward and Frank J. Allen, for respondent.
Reported in 169 Pac. 819.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This was an action to set aside a decree of adoption. Pending the appeal, the respondent died.
The cause of action being of a personal nature and not surviving to the representatives of the deceased, the action abated upon the death of respondent, and the appeal must be dismissed.
