Knutson Ex Rel. Knutson v. Lurie

Dave Lurie and Mrs. Dave Lurie, the defendants- appellants, are husband and wife. They live in the northeast part of Fort Dodge. Some time in the latter part of June, the Luries employed Orvilla Knutson, who by her next friend and father, Ole Knutson, is the plaintiff-appellee. Orvilla Knutson was thus employed by the appellants as a domestic to work in their home. She, according to her testimony, was “to clean house”, “get the meals”, or assist in getting the meals, and “take care” of the two Lurie children then at home. The one child was two years old and the other seven.
