Further

If
the

Widow,
but

one
half
of
his
personal
estate
will
fall
to
his
widow,
and
the
other
half
will
be
divisible
among
the
next
of
kin.
The
father
of
an

one
half
of

a
widow,
and

the
mother
and
the

and
sisters,
the
personal
estate
is
divisible
in
equal
portions,
one
of
which
will
belong
to
the
mother,
and
one
to
each
of
the
brothers
and
sisters;
and
if
there
be
children
of
a
deceased
brother
or
sister,
an
equal
portion
is
divisible
among
each
family
of
children.
