In this executors’ accounting a question of construction of the will comes up for decision. Testatrix died September 27, 1925. In her will she gave several legacies to charitable institutions, divided her jewelry equally between her two daughters, Marjorie J. Klee and Rosalie L. Caron, and then provided by the 7th paragraph as follows: “ All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, and wheresoever situated, I give, devise, and bequeath, in equal shares, to such of my grandchildren as shall survive me.” Testatrix at the time of her death left one grandchild of her blood, Pierre Ernest Caron, a son of her daughter Rosalie L. Caron. On March 27, 1926, about six months after testatrix’s death, another child was born to said daughter and named Suzanna Dora Caron. Testatrix’s other daughter, Marjorie J. Klee, prior to the execution of the will, to wit, on or about May 12, 1922, had adopted a son known as Kenneth Benjamin Klee, who survived the testatrix. The question presented concerns the distribution as to the testatrix’s “ grandchildren as shall survive me.” Is her residuary estate to go to Pierre Ernest Caron, the only grandchild of her blood living at the time of her death? Or shall the distribution include Suzanna Dora Caron, another grandchild of the blood, who was born after the death of the testatrix?
