Syllabus

<p>(a) A testator, leaving two sons and a married daughter to survive him, devised to one son a farm “at $2,650,” and to the other a farm “at $5,000,” with cross-remainders on the death of either without issue. To his daughter and her husband, each, he bequeathed the sum of five dollars, “ for their full share: ”</p> <p>1. There being no direction that the devisees of the farms should pay the sums at which they were valued, no personal obligation was imposed upon them on acceptance; nor were said sums charged upon the devises, expressly or by implication, so as to raise a fund undisposed of by the will in which the daughter could share.</p>
