Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Elkins Wetherill, with him Knox Henderson, and Henderson, Wetherill & O'Hey, for appellants.

George C. Denniston, with him Snyder & Bent, for appellees.

Before JONES, C.J., MUSMANNO, ARNOLD, JONES and COHEN, JJ.

OPINION BY MR. JUSTICE BENJAMIN R. JONES, June 3, 1958:

These appeals present a single question: where a testatrix provides in her will that "Upon the death of either of my said children leaving descendants . . . her surviving, to pay . . . principal . . . to such surviving descendants" are surviving children adopted by testatrix's daughter "descendants" within the meaning of the will?

On December 6, 1912 testatrix executed her will.1
