§58-127.
   
   Petition for letters of administration must be in writing, signed by
   the applicant or his counsel, and filed with the judge of the court
   stating the facts essential to give the court jurisdiction of the
   case, and when known to the applicant, he must state the names, ages
   and residence of the heirs of the decedent, and the value and
   character of the property. If the jurisdictional facts existed, but
   are not fully set forth in the petition, and are afterwards proved in
   the course of administration, the decree or order of administration
   and subsequent proceedings are not void on account of such want of
   jurisdictional averments.
