Syllabus

<p>Decedents’ estates — Claim for nursing — Evidence.</p> <p>A claim for nursing against a decedent’s estate will not be allowed where it appears that the decedent had boarded with the claimant for about fifteen years, paying a weekly sum therefor, but being regarded practically as a member of the family, that there was nothing to show that the claimant’s services for nursing were not voluntarily performed, and there was no evidence offered to support a contract other than loose expressions of gratitude and appreciation by the decedent, and the hope that he might live to see the day when claimant would be compensated.</p>
