1. ““The daughter was thirteen years old at the time of the trial. Shortly after her mother’s death she was taken to the home, in New Jersey, of her uncle, the plaintiff, who kept her until about six months before the trial, since which time she has been with another uncle, in Ohio. The record is entirely silent concerning any plans for the future that have been made for her, or that she has made for herself. The fair inference is that her stay with her uncles was in pursuance of a mere temporary arrangement. It is clear that at one time she was a resident upon the farm in question. There is no evidence having any reasonable tendency to show that she has ever acquired a permanent domicile elsewhere, and until that is done, her legal residence remains where it was once established.” (Hicks v. Sage, 104 Kan. 723, 727 , 180 Pac. 780 .)”
