<p>Wills — Provision for unborn child — Act of April 8, 1888, P. L. m.</p> <p>Where a married woman provides in her will that “should the coming heir he a daughter, I request that my jewelry (except engagement ring), table silver and $250 be set aside for her until eighteen years old,” such provision does not apply to a boy born to the testatrix within a few days after the making of the will.</p> <p>Decedents’ estates — Husband and wife — Funeral expenses.</p> <p>A husband is primarily liable for medical attendance and other expenses incident to his wife’s illness and death, although she has a separate estate.</p> <p>Decedents’ estates — Cemetery stone work — Husband and wife— Will.</p> <p>Where a testatrix directs that a “cemetery lot be enclosed with a coping to correspond with my mother’s and a suitable headstone erected,” and the husband of the testatrix in his account claims credit for the sum of $600 for the stone work in the lot, and no objection is made to the account, it will be presumed that the credit claimed was correct, and the court commits error if it surcharges the husband with $350 on the ground that $250 was sufficient.</p>
