## Opinion text

Dissenting Opinion by
Montgomery, J.:
I dissent and would affirm the award to claimant on the opinion of the lower court. What' the majority of this. Court has apparently overlooked in considering the Importance of. the contributions made by the decedent to his mother is the- precarious employment status of the -father, a 67 year old railroad see: *434 tion foreman. At such an age, a large amount of his wages should properly be reserved to provide support for himself and his family at the time of his inevitable retirement, which will be soon. Under such conditions, the mother (claimant) would of necessity become more and more dependent on the contributions of her son. Therefore, I can not agree that at the time of the son’s death she was not dependent on him to some extent. Such dependency was found to exist by the Board and by the lower court; and, I think, under the evidence in this case such finding was proper.
