Cunningham v. Frymire
Opinion
Opinion
Schottky, J.
This is an appeal from a judgment ordering partition by sale of certain real property. The property in question was all part of the estate of Samuel Jones who died in 1938. By the terms of his will his daughter Celia H. Frymire and his son Benjamin C. Jones were each devised a one-third interest in the property, and his daughter Ruby Cunningham was devised a one-third interest in trust. During probate Celia H. Frymire died, and her husband, Goldsmith Frymire, succeeded to her interest. Prior to the distribution of the estate Goldsmith Frymire created by deed a life estate in himself in his share of the property, with a remainder over in favor of Patrick Cunningham and Dennis Cunningham, sons of Ruby Cunningham, and Cecelia Gwendolyn Jones and Charlotte Orlena Dunlavy, daughters of Benjamin C. J ones. By the decree of distribution dated November 12, 1952, Ruby Cunningham received her one-third interest free of the trust, Benjamin C. Jones received his one-third interest and Goldsmith Frymire was given a life estate in the remaining one- third with remainder over to the above named sons of Ruby Cunningham and the daughters of Benjamin C. Jones.
