Description
SIMPSON, Justice. This appeal is by Frances Cates, as guardian of the estate of Cande Cates, a minor, from a decree on final
settlement in the Circuit Court in Equity of the estate of Cecil W. Cates, deceased. The only persons interested are the administrator,
John Lewis Cates, and the minor Cande Cates, brother and sister. It appears from the evidence that Cecil Cates, the intestate and father of the parties, had been engaged in the milk hauling
business at least twenty years. In this business the intestate owned (with certain minor incumbrances) the milk hauling equipment,
e. g. three truck trailers and two milk tank trailers. At the time of his death on January 5, 1955, he had two contracts for
the hauling of milk with Foremost Dairies, Inc., hereinafter called Foremost. One of such contracts was in writing and called
for the hauling of milk from Burkeville, Alabama, to Birmingham, which contract was to expire January 1, 1957. The second
contract, covering the hauling of milk from Houston, Mississippi, to Birmingham, was oral. In 1954 the gross income of the
intestate's milk hauling business was approximately $50,000.
