Mrs. Mary Fahnestock died without a will after the death of her father, leaving her husband surviving, but no issue, and also owning land in Iowa. My opinion is asked as to how, or to whom, this land descends. I have to judge by the Iowa laws, as I find them in the State House here in Illinois. In the "Code of Iowa" enacted in 1857, on page 214 I find Sec "1410. If the intestate leave no issue the one half of his estate (including the dower of his wife) shall go to his father, and the other half to his wife, and if he leave no wife nor issue the whole shall go to his father". Sec. "1411. If his father be previously dead, the portion which would have fallen to his share by the above [illegible] shall be disposed of in the same manner as though he had outlived the intested and died in the possession and ownership of the portion thus falling to his [illegible] [illegible]" Again on page 215 Sec. 1421. All the provisions hereinbefore made in relation to the widow of a deceased husband shall be applicable to the husband of a deceased wife. Each is entitled to the same rights of dower in the estate of the other and like interests shall in the same manner descend to then respective heirs. The estate by courtesy is hereby abolished. The above Sec 1421, was, in 1853 so amended as to read. Sec "1421. All the provisions hereinbefore made in relation to the widow of a deceased husband shall (over) <hr /> be applicable to the husband of a deceased wife. The estate by courtesy is hereby abolished". So far as I have the opportunity I have examined the decisions of the Supreme court of Iowa and find nothing in them on the question nor do I find any other statutory [alteration?]. I therefore think one half of the land goes to Mrs. Fahnestock's husband and the other half to her father's heirs. The Iowa Statutes and Supreme Court decisions will probably be found at Harrisburg Pa. I will add that it would be prudent to get the opinion of a good lawyer in Iowa, being careful to state to him correctly the facts of the case particularly that Mrs. F. died without children Springfield, July 20 1857 A.

Springfield, Jany 29. 1858 John Olney, Esq My dear Sir: I have had your case under consideration for two days; and I really fear you can not maintain the suit. Doup has the legal title, and who but the State, can question it? If Galatin County has the right to question it by suit, can it do so without making the State a party? and how can you make the State a party? The case, depending upon new and peculiar statutes, I can not give an opinion with [greater?] confidence. It may be worth the trial, after all---I submitted the case to Logan, and his off-hand opinion is that you can not maintain it. Can you not make the question in [Ejectment?] as well as otherwise? Prove your title, and when they present theirs prove that it was obtained in [favor?] of the law. Sorry I can not write a more encouraging letter. I charge nothing for this. Yours very truly, A.

Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 300019 T1858.01.29 239596 Title A name given to the resource Abraham Lincoln to John Olney Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lincoln, Abraham Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1858-01-29 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource pdf Description An account of the resource Lincoln's colleague John Olney asks him to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable result to a legal case Olney is considering. Olney, a partner in the law firm of Olney & McAtee in Shawneetown, Gallatin County, Illinois, is active in Republican Party politics, serving as a delegate to the state party convention in 1858. It is possible that the case under consideration is Daniel Doup vs. Ninian Primm and Samuel C. Gibson. Lincoln and Herndon previously served as Doup's attorneys regarding some Illinois real estate transactions. Doup died in the middle of the business in June 1857, leaving a wife and other heirs. At that time, Olney was drawn into some aspect of Doup's affairs. Lincoln declines to predict the final solution of the enterprise and indicates an appropriate fee for his opinion. Although Lincoln tells Olney that there is no fee for his advice, Lincoln ended up being paid partly in land in Gallatin County. Two years later, Olney runs as a Republican presidential elector, and on June 27, 1867, is selected to the bench of Illinois's 19th circuit court.
