Sovereign Camp, Woodmen of the World v. Pritchett
Supreme Court of Alabama
Appeal from Circuit Court, Conecuh. County; A. E. Gamble, Judge. Action by Mamie Pritchett against the Sovereign Camp, Woodmen of the World. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtSayre, J.
[1] Count A of the amended complaint was substantially in Code form (Civil Code, p. 1196), and the demurrer was properly overruled. The averment is that defendant insured C. Henry Pritchett “for the term of, to wit, his natural life,” and that the insured died on, to wit, etc. This was an allegation that the insured died within the life of the policy.
Count B, after setting out the terms of the policy with sufficient detail, alleged that at the death of insured, the date being shown, said policy was in full force and effect. We do not see that the count was open to any objection taken to it.
