Smith v. Greenburg

In the district court trial, defendant asked for a jury to determine the order of deaths. After listening to the conflicting testimony of numerous witnesses, none of whom could speak from personal knowledge of the situation and the majority of whom were doctors, the jury, in answer to the three interrogatories addressed to them, found that Ethyl v. Milford died first, Lois Ruth Milford died subsequent to her mother, and that death came to Charles D. Milford after the deaths of the other two.
