Under the evidence in the record, it is clear that respondents did not abandon their homestead in the property, but that they were absent therefrom temporarily, with the fixed intention to return to and occupy it as a homestead. No declaration of abandonment was ever filed.
Under our statutes and decisions, they are entitled to continue to hold it as a homestead.
The judgment should be affirmed.
MILLARD, C.J., and GERAGHTY, J., concur with HOLCOMB, J. *Page 691
