• 20 Fla. 573

Syllabus

<p>1. The fact that a testatrix by her will bequeaths certain mentioned property to her husband, and also certain other property to other relatives, but does not dispose of her entire property, is not evidence that she intends to exclude her husband from participating in the residue.</p> <p>2. Under the laws of this State, where the wife having separate property, dies without a child, but makes a will disposing of a portion only of it, the surviving husband is entitled to tile residue of such property, both real and personal, after the terms of the will have been carried out. McC. Dig., 471, §12.</p>
