Natural Heirs Debate Over L B Johnson Will
In Jackson County a Superior Court hearing before Judge Brand addressed whether Genie Johnson could claim as a natural heir to L B Johnson. The will left $5 to his wife for dower and support, with the remainder to his two children Mary Sue and T G Johnson to be divided among natural heirs at age twenty one. When one child died, the survivor inherited all. The daughter’s death did not grant the wife a share, and the court ruled the will did not contemplate her participation beyond the $5 legacy.
