## Opinion text

Mr. Justice McAllister: I concur in the decision on the ground that the monument was supplied under a special written contract made by the widow. This was her individual contract; none, therefore, could be implied. Walker v. Brown, 28 Ill. 378 . She could not, and the contract did not purport to, bind the estate.
