In the Matter of the Claim of Anna Ziegler, Respondent, Against P. Cassidy’s Sons, Appellants

Summary

The Court affirmed the workmen's compensation award, holding that the question of whether a common‑law marriage was valid in 1909 was properly raised for appellate review and that the 1907 repeal of the statutory prohibition restored the validity of common‑law marriages, making Anna Ziegler the decedent's widow entitled to compensation.
