Description
This is an action brought by the father of Harold Brandhorst, deceased, to recover compensation as a dependent of said decedent, who was injured January 6, 1940, and died from such injuries January 15, 1940. The defendants deny that the claimant, Henry L. Brandhorst, was in any degree dependent for his support upon the earnings of Harold Brandhorst at the time of his injury, January 6, 1940. The only question involved in this appeal is the dependency of the claimant, who claims that he was dependent upon Harold to a great extent for his support, and that in his lifetime the said decedent was a substantial and material contributor to the support of his parents. The deputy industrial commissioner, sitting as sole arbitrator, rendered and filed an arbitration award, in which said deputy commissioner found that at the time of the injury and death the claimant was partially dependent upon contributions from the earnings of said decedent to the extent of 70 per cent, and he awarded compensation accordingly. On review before the industrial commissioner, on January 30, 1941, the commissioner rendered an opinion and decision in which he found and ruled that Henry L. Brandhorst was wholly dependent upon his minor son at the time of and prior to said son's fatal injury, and awarded him, as such dependent, workmen's compensation at the rate of $6.46 per week, for a period of three hundred weeks, beginning on the 6th day of January, 1940, with interest at 6 per cent per annum on each payment until paid. The case was appealed to the district court, which affirmed the findings of fact and the award of the industrial commissioner, to all of which defendants excepted and appealed to this court.
