1Opinion of the Court
The suit is to recover on a beneficiary certificate for $1,000, issued by the Sovereign Camp of the Woodmen of the World (the name of which was subsequently changed to the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society, hereafter called the Society) on the life of Glavin Allen Lear, son of the plaintiff. The certificate was issued on January 25, 1930, and the insured died on March 9, 1938. The Society refuses payment on the ground that the certificate had become null and void at the time of the death of the insured for non-payment of the premiums necessary to keep the certificate in force.
