Description
The respondent, Mrs. Nannie Lew Bergin, brought this suit asking for a declaratory judgment against the petitioners, Lawrence Bergin, individually and as executor of the estate of Edward G. Bergin, deceased, and the following minor children, beneficiaries under the will: Mary Kay Carothers, Robert P. Bortner, Charles Carothers, Jr., and Chris Carothers, niece and nephews of the deceased. Respondent sought a construction of the will of her deceased husband. She alleged, in substance, that in his will her deceased husband bequeathed to her an interest in 180 shares of stock in the Los Angeles Soap Company, a corporation, and in 960 shares of stock in the Murray Gin Company (stipulated: Murray Company of Texas, Inc.). She alleged further that as a result of a 100 per cent stock dividend, which was declared subsequent to the testators death, the original 960 shares in the latter company have now been increased to 1920 shares. The will made disposition of other properties. However, it will not be necessary to refer to such properties except perhaps incidentally in connection with a construction of the will. There are three paragraphs of the will with which this Court is directly concerned. They are paragraphs 1, 2, and 5 set out below in Footnote One. The full will is set out in Footnote (1) of the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals.
