Jennie M. Ostrom, as President of the Sullivan County Ladies’ Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument Association…

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's judgment, holding that Jennie M. Ostrom was the president of the Sullivan County Ladies’ Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument Association when the action was commenced and therefore had standing to sue under Code Civ. Proc. § 1919. The court found that the association's procedural actions, including adjournments and officer removals without notice, were regular under parliamentary rules, and that the majority controlled the trust fund, precluding the minority's diversion of the money.
