Hart, J.
The facts of this controversy are: That Abraham Everstine Clary died testate in the county of Yolo, state of California, on the third day of November, 1920. Surviving him were his wife Johanna and six children. Two of his sons, Edward F. Clary and Charles M. Clary, were nominated in his last will as executors thereof, qualifying as such on the sixth day of December, 1920, and jointly acting as such until the fourth day of April, 1921, when Charles M. Clary died intestate in the county of Monterey, state of California. From the last-mentioned date E. F. Clary continued as sole executor of said will.
The will of Abraham E. Clary provided that all the property of the estate was to go to the children of the deceased in equal shares, subject, however, to the right of the widow, Johanna, to the income from all the property during her life and “in case the income was insufficient for her care then the property was to be applied for her support, the estate not to be distributed until the death of the widow. ’ ’
On the twenty-third day of June, 1922, approximately two months after the death of Charles M. Clary, the widow of Abraham passed away.
