Kennard v. Travelers Protective Association of America

The plaintiff, Mr. Kennard, was a member in good standing of the Travelers Protective Association, a fraternal benefit society, chartered under the laws of the State of Missouri. His certificate of membership bears date April 3, 1916. On the night of August 6, 1929, he was injured by striking his right foot against the rocker of a chair. At that time this accident seemed to be too trivial for notice, but by August 29, 1929, this injured foot had become swollen and painful. On that day a physician was summoned and on September 6, 1929, the company was notified. His accumulated disability claims amount to $823.21. To his motion for judgment therefor the defendant demurred. Its demurrer was sustained; the case was dismissed, and is now before us on a writ of error.
