Ada Coca-Cola Bottling Company v. Snead

1 This is a proceeding under the death benefit provisions of the Workmens Compensation Act in which an award was entered in favor of Beulah Brown Snead. The accidental injury occurred January 7, 1957. An award for employee, as claimant, for disability, was vacated in Ada Coca-Cola Bottling Company et al. v. State Industrial Commission et al., Okl., 341 P.2d 568, wherein this court held that there was no competent evidence to support the finding that permanent disability resulted from the accidental injury. Employee died on December 13, 1959. Thereafter Beulah Brown Snead filed her claim under the death benefit provisions of the Act, and an award was entered on May 1, 1960. The medical testimony from the former case is in the record here as the courts exhibit, and there was additional testimony as well.
