Michigan Supreme Court March 26, 1901 (Davis v. Teachout's Estate)

Hooker, J.

Claimant’s wife and Miles G. Teachout were children of Jacob Teachout. The evidence tended to prove that Miles G. Teachout made a contract with his father many years ago to furnish him an adequate maintenance for life, and that afterwards, finding it inconvenient to have him in his family, he engaged the claimant to support him, promising to pay him well for doing so.
