Had Four Husbands Inheritance Battle Over Life Policy
Mre Loduska Watkins sues the Muronio Mutual Benefit society of Kansas in Shawnee district Court for the value of a life insurance policy her husband James Watkins held. Watkins, a long-standing Mason of Hiawatha, died in April 1904 after a troubled marriage that included a change of the policy to go to his sons. The suit argues a misapplied marriage contract and a novel law question about presumption of validity of marriages. Watkins’s life story includes multiple prior marriages, alleged bigamy, and disputed divorces involving Westlake Greene Wright and Karl. The case features prominent local lawyers and the Masonic society defending the policy.
