Holbrook v. Olympia Hotel Co.
Michigan Supreme Court
Certiorari to Industrial Accident Board. Minnie A. Holbrook presented her claim for compensation against the Olympia Hotel Company for the accidental death of her husband in defendant's employ. From an order awarding compensation, defendant and the Hartford Accident & Indemnity Company, insurer, bring certiorari.
1Opinion of the CourtOstrander, C. J.
Arthur Lee Holbrook, a painter and decorator, living in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, while doing some work in the hotel of the Olympia Hotel Company, in that city, on September 25, 1916, fell from a ladder, receiving injuries from which he died. His widow, the claimant, seeks to recover compensation under the statute. The committee on arbitration refused to make an award, but the finding was reversed on appeal. The industrial accident board found:
“(a) That the deceased was an employee of the respondent employer and that the accident which befell him arose out of and in the course of his employment.
