Edwards v. Wolf

DAVIS, J.,

Pro Tempore.

This is a declaratory judgment proceeding to determine whether the plaintiffs or the defendant are entitled to the proceeds of a life insurance policy on the life of Michael Edwards. Trial was before the court, and a judgment was entered granting plaintiff Robert Edwards the proceeds of the policy.
