description of the person

description of the person
By this is meant a word or phrase used merely for the purpose of identifying or pointing out the person intended, and not as an intimation that the language in connection with which it occurs is to apply to him only in the official or technical character which might appear to be indicated by the word. Forrester v. Cantley, 227 Mo.App. 325, 51 S.W.2d 550, 551.
In wills, it sometimes happens that the word heir is used as a descriptio persons. A legacy "to the eldest son" of A would be a designation of the person
