McQueeny v. National Fidelity Life Insurance

This is an action upon an insurance contract. Defendant alleged the policy had lapsed for non-payment of premiums, and that the extended insurance thereafter provided had terminated prior to the date of insured's death. The cause was tried to the court, without aid of a jury, and judgment was entered for defendant. Plaintiff has appealed. We have jurisdiction because the amount sued for exceeds $7500.
