OPINION BY MR. JUSTICE BOK, March 22, 1960:
The basic question is whether the decedent and the claimant, once his wife, entered into a valid common law remarriage after their divorce.
Decedent died testate, leaving nothing to the claimant, who asserted marriage and filed her election to take against his will. The court below held that there had been no valid remarriage, vacated the election, and struck it from the record. The claimant has appealed.
