Dix v. Modern Woodmen of America

Dix to recover on a benefit certificate issued by the defendant March 23, 1922, wherein it agreed to pay to the beneficiary named therein the sum of two thousand dollars “in case of the death of said member, Albert E. Dix, while a beneficial member of said society in good standing.”

The principal defense is that long prior to his death all rights and benefits, of Albert Dix were forfeited, that the contract of insurance was cancelled, and all liability of the defendant thereunder ceased.
