HALLOWS, C. J.

Steffke was by many standards a wealthy and successful businessman. He married his first wife Dorothy in 1930. In January of 1959, she suffered a stroke which left her legally incompetent. Dorothy Steffke was a patient in St. Mary's Hospital in Wausau from 1959, to the spring of 1963. At that time she was moved to Florida by her husband and has since remained there. Her estate is estimated to be about a half million dollars.
