Theodore M. Peterson v. Lucy A. Holloway

CROCKETT, Chief Justice. Defendants appeal from a judgment quieting title to certain property in plaintiff, administrator
of the estate of Dora Alsop Stringer. It is their position that it was transferred to Dora's guardian for her minority only,
or at most for life, and that the evidence does not support the court's finding that the entire beneficial interest vested
in her. Charles D. Alsop and his wife Mabel C. Alsop were killed in an explosion in St. George, Utah on March 6, 1935, orphaning
their three children, Virginia 17, James 19 and Dora 6. Lucy Holloway, the children's aunt, took the children to care for
at her home in Lexington, Kentucky and was later appointed their guardian. James graduated from West Point, was married and
thereafter died. Virginia also graduated from college, and now lives with her husband in California. She is the only child
who survives.
