The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, February 4, 1909 Judge Eichelbarger decided, during the recent term of court, that a widow could not hold a dower right in the homestead and also a one-third interest in the general estate at the same time, but only had the right to elect between the two. This decision was rendered in the case of MRS. F.R. CROCKER, who chose one third of her husband's estate and then claimed her dower right in homestead. As she had previously elected her right, the court decided she had no equity in the Crocker homestead. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(Mcmurtrey)Seifert May 9, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net
