        "text": "Leelar, J.\nMrs. Charley Miller died childless, without a will, owning 50 acres of land which had been devised to her by her father\u2019s will. She left surviving her a husband, appellee Charley Miller, and blood relatives among whom are the appellants here. Charley Miller is in possession of the 50 acres. Appellants brought suit for a partition of the land. At the trial the Chancellor held that Charley Miller \u2018 \u2018 is vested with a right of possession of the entire tract for his natural life by virtue of his homestead interest.\u201d Appellants contend this was error.\nThe land in question, having come to Mrs. Miller by devise from her father, was ancestral estate. Oliver v. Vance, 34 Ark. 564; Hofstatter v. Bona, 205 Ark. 729, 170 S. W. 2d 1016. The relevant law as to a husband\u2019s interest in his wife\u2019s ancestral lands appears in Ark. Stats., \u00a7 61-228: \u201cUpon-the death of a married woman, her husband shall be entitled to the following portion of her estate, undisposed of by her will: . . . where she leaves no descendants, as to the lands in which her estate is ancestral the husband shall be entitled to one-third of her real property for life. . . .\u201d Our law gives the husband no additional right of homestead in his wife\u2019s lands. See Ark. Const., Art. IX, \u00a7\u00a7 6, 10; Ark. Stats., \u00a7 62-601, et seq. His right in her ancestral lands is a one-third interest for his life.\nReversed and remanded.",
