Elrod v. Prudence Mutual Casualty Co.

Taylor, Chief Justice:

This appeal arises out of an action to recover under the double indemnity provisions of two life insurance policies issued by Appellant to Respondent’s intestate. Appellant paid and Respondent accepted all indemnity payable under the policies with the exception of $6,250.00 claimed as double indemnity for loss of life. The matter was submitted under an agreed Stipulation of Facts to the Honorable Ernest B. Castles, Judge, County Court of Anderson County, without a jury, who, in his Order of January 4, 1965, found for Respondent in the amount claimed. This appeal followed.
