Opinion by
Morrison, J.,
The decedent, William C. Martin, had resided for a long term of years with the family of the appellant, Mary L. Moorhead, and there is evidence that he had been paying for his boarding $20.00 per month. In the distribution of the estate the appellant claimed for board for the decedent at the rate of $20.00 per month from October, 1907, to May 9, 1909, — nineteen months — amounting to $380. The learned judge of the orphans’ court rejected this claim and the appellant excepted to the decree and appealed.
A careful examination of the testimony leads us to the conclusion…
