On Motion for Rehearing.
In stating the facts in our original opinion herein we find that we were mistaken in the statement to the effect that the house upon lot 7, herein claimed as a homestead, was occupied by appellant and wife at and prior to the time of the execution of the deed and notes mentioned in the opinion. The statement of facts shows that the. actual occupancy as a residence or the dwelling occurred later. This fact, however, we do not regard as material, for the testimony in behalf of appellants seems to make it clear that the selection of the lot, the building of the house, and other acts of preparation were sufficient to impress upon the lot the character of a homestead.
We therefore, with the correction stated, adhere to our original opinion and overrule the motion for rehearing.
