Court of Appeals of Maryland January 16, 1885 (Yoe v. Benjamin C. Howard Masonic Mutual Benevolent Ass'n)

Alvey, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The appellee in this case is a mutual benevolent association, and its object is to provide and maintain a fund for the benefit of the widows and orphans of deceased members. Its nature is very much that of a mutual insurance society.
