Description
Andrew M. Cooper, a resident of Bridgeport, died on July 21, 1926, at the age of fifty-four, leaving no issue. His widow, Sara, died on November 3, 1952. On January 11, 1924, Cooper had executed a will which was admitted to probate on July 28, 1926. The plaintiff, as administrator c.t.a. and trustee, instituted this action to obtain a construction of article third of the will. From the judgment rendered in answering eight questions submitted to the court,1 two separate appeals have been [143 Conn. 534] prosecuted by different defendants. We first consider the one taken by Margaret J. Haentze, the adopted daughter of B. Franklin Jarrett, deceased, and Blanche G. Jarrett, also deceased. Margaret attacks the answer to question (a). By that answer the court determined that she is not entitled to take her adoptive father's share as his "lineal descendant."
