<p>Beneficial associations — Appointment of beneficiary — Brother.</p> <p>Where the by-laws of a beneficial association state that the purpose of the association is “to assist the families of the deceased by paying them the death benefits,” and gives to every member “ the right to leave his death benefit to whomsoever he desires,” a member may appoint his brother, and the brother will be entitled to the death benefit, although the member may leave to survive him a wife and children. The designation of the brother is not prohibited by section 1 of the Act of April 6,1893, P.
