““In the American & English Encyclopedia of Law (2d Ed.) yol. 12, page 90, the rule is thus stated: ‘It is very generally held that, to constitute the head of a family, •vithin the purpose and intent of the exemption laws, there must be at least a condition of dependence on the part of the other members upon ¡the head, and a legal or moral obligation oh the part of the head to support them, and that a mere aggregation of individuals is not enough’.””

Clinkenbeard““In the ease at bar, even if we concede that under our statute, strictly speaking, there is no legal obligation resting upon the defendant to support his invalid mother and dependent sisters, yet we think there is a strong moral obligation founded upon natural justice to support and maintain them, and that it satisfies the requirements of our exemption laws. ””
