The opinion

KINKADE, J.

When the parents of minor children are divorced, and the decree gives to the mother the sole and exclusive care, custody and control of the minor children, the legal settleemnt of the mother thereby becomes the legal settlement of the minor children; and when the mother thereafter, acting in good faith, moves to another county, taking the minor children with her, and intending to make the latter county the permanent home of herself and her minor children as well, and pursuant thereto, the mother acquires a legal settlement in the county to which she thus moves, the minor children thereby acquire, through their mother, a legal settlement in the same county.

Judgment affirmed.

Marshall, CJ., Day, Allen, Robinson, Jones and Matthias, JJ., concur.
