Syllabus

<p>1. Homestead—Estates—Partition.—The statutes make no distinction between separate and community property, when it is made a homestead. Whetheran estate is solvent or insolvent, property made a homestead under the Constitution and laws of the State, and being such at tile decease of the husband, is left still as a homestead for the widow, and will continue to be her homestead as long as she needs and uses it for that purpose.</p> <p>2. Homestead—Abandonment.—That a widow has not occupied a homestead after her husband’s death for two years, is not proof of abandonment.</p>
