OPINION

HENRY, Justice.

In this workmen’s compensation action the Trial Judge awarded full statutory benefits to the widow of a deceased workman. Reviewing the case under the familiar material evidence standard, we affirm the judgment.

I

The deceased workman was employed as a truck driver for Russann Lumber Company. On the day of his death he reported for work at 6:54 a.m. The undisputed evidence shows that he was in apparent good health and good spirits and voiced no complaint. He was forty-six years old at the time and his prior medical history was such that he did not even have a family doctor.
