Bossen v. Hostetter

The original claim filed September 7, 1950, was merely a statement for nursing care, board and room, etc., furnished by claimant for the decedent, Maude DeWitt, from May 29, 1949, to January 26, 1950, as follows:

34'j/2 weeks at $30 per week $1035.00

Payments (itemized) 190.00

Balance due $845.00

July 30, 1951, an amended claim was filed containing the same statement for $845 with an alternative claim for $2000 based upon an alleged oral agreement by Miss DeWitt to pay claimant $5 per week-for her services and to make her the beneficiary in a $2000 insurance policy on the life of Miss DeWitt.

Augus…
