Crocker Case Decided

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, February 4, 1909

Judge Eichelbarger decided, during the recent term of court, that a widow
could not hold a dower right in the homestead and also a one-third interest
in the general estate at the same time, but only had the right to elect
between the two. This decision was rendered in the case of MRS. F.R.
CROCKER, who chose one third of her husband's estate and then claimed her
dower right in homestead. As she had previously elected her right, the
court decided she had no equity in the Crocker homestead.
