Supreme Court of Pennsylvania April 21, 1919, Appeal, No. 248 (Dickerson v. Midvale Beneficial Ass'n)

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Walling,

This bill in equity is by an administrator to recover death benefits from a beneficial society. In 1883 the defendant was organized as an unincorporated beneficial association, made up exclusively of the employees of the Midvale Steel Company of Philadelphia, and so continued until 1916 when it became chartered as a Pennsylvania corporation.
