Insurance Policy Interpleader in Supreme Judicial Court

The National Life Insurance Company sues as interpleader against Elizabeth H. Pingrey and Clara J. Pingrey over a policy on Franklin A. Pingrey. The first policy, issued 1874 for the mother, Elizabeth, was surrendered for a new policy to the wife, Care L. Pingrey, without the mother’s consent.
