<p>Wills — D&dse—Proceeds of lots sold — Scope of devise — Deeds.</p> <p>Where a woman owned several acres of land in a borough, fifty of which constituted a homestead farm, and twenty of which were separated from the others by a street, and by her will she devises a tract of land described as “the farm” with all the personalty thereon to certain devisees, and it appears that two years prior to the date of her will she procured the twenty-acre lot to be laid out in town lots and at the date of the will had sold all of these lots and had received the full purchase price for them, but had not made deeds for certain of them, the devisees cannot claim the proceeds of the town lots received by the testatrix in her lifetime and in her possession at the time of her death.</p>
