Description
March 14, 1952. This is a Workmen's Compensation case. The deceased, Joe Brown, is alleged to have sustained an injury at the Walhalla Gin on September 1, 1947, from which he died September 12, 1947, said injury having arisen out of and in the course of his employment. On November 28, 1947, the employers first reported the injury to the South Carolina Industrial Commission. No other reports were thereafter filed with said Commission and no claim was filed by respondents within the one-year period after the death of the employee. However, within this period the Industrial Commission notified the employer and carrier that the case would be set for a hearing. This was done for November 14, 1949. Prior to the hearing, but not within the one-year period, claimant, Bessie Brown, as alleged dependent widow, filed her claim with the Industrial Commission against the Walhalla Gin. After such hearing on November 14, 1949, claimant's attorney learned that the case had been set under the name of C.G. Gunter, Inc., and requested that another day be set for a hearing thereon. This request was granted and on February 14, 1950, the matter was heard before Commissioner John H. Dukes. Without enumerating further details, it is sufficient to say that the Hearing Commissioner rendered his award August 28, 1950, in favor of claimants, Bessie Brown and Josie Brown, as the widow and minor daughter, respectively, as dependents of the deceased.
