U. E. March v. Snake River Mutual Fire

Immediately prior to his death which occurred September 26, 1957, Joseph Bibeau lived in the area of Sandpoint, Idaho, and was being cared for by friends, among whom was one Claude N. Simon. On August 31, 1957, pursuant to a request of Bibeau, Mr. Simon applied, through the Eagles Agency at Sandpoint, for a fire insurance policy covering a house, barn and a quantity of hay situate upon land owned by Bibeau. Pursuant to such application the defendant-respondent, Snake River Mutual Fire Insurance Co., under date of September 10, 1957, issued its policy numbered W 100967 F insuring said buildings and hay against loss by fire, designating ""Claude N. Simon as Guardian of Joseph Bibeau"" as the insured, with an effective date of August 31, 1957. Said policy is in evidence as plaintiff's exhibit 8. The term of the policy was for five years commencing August 31, 1957, to August 31, 1962, and the annual premium payments of $18.24 each were due and payable on or before the 31st day of August of each year commencing with the inception date of the policy.
