Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Workmen’s Compensation Act — Death of Minor Son — “Dependency” of Parents. In an action under the workmen’s compensation act by the father and mother of a deceased workman for compensation for his death, a finding of partial dependency is sustained by evidence that the parents did in fact depend in part on the son’s earnings, so that they suffered injury by being deprived of what they.had relied on; and this is true, although the father owns a home for which he paid $1450, owns land from which he derives an income of $400 nr $500 a year, owns shares of stock in a corporation on which he has paid $5000, and is employed at a salary of $125 a month.</p>
