        "text": "SCHUMAN, C. J.\nClaimant, Cecile B. Hoover, executrix of the estate of Paul H. Boyers, has filed a claim for medical and hospital expenses expended by the decedent, Paul H. Boyers, in his lifetime, which were claimed necessary to relieve decedent of injuries sustained, and for which an award had been previously made by this Court.\nA hearing was previously had a short time before decedent\u2019s death, but no conclusion reached because of the death of the said Paul H. Boyers..\nThe decedent had incurred medical and hospital expenses reasonably required to cure or relieve him from the effects of his injury.\nThis Court had rendered an award in Boyers v. State, 9 C.C.R. 530, and reserved jurisdiction for such further orders as might subsequently be made. An additional award was granted on May 14, 1941 (Boyers v. State, 12 C.C.R. 377, and in Boyers v. State, 14 C.C.R. 1) for additional expenses.\nPaul H. Boyers died testate on July 23, 1949, and claimant has presented her claim for the following expenses:\nDr. Robert Nelson, Clinton, Iowa (Surgery \u2014 Dec. 1946)-------$ 200.00\nDr. Charles Waggoner (Assistant to Dr. Nelson, Clinton, Iowa)--- 10.00\nJane Lamb Hospital, Clinton, Iowa----------------- 90.65\nPublic Hospital of the City of Sterling--------------------- 1,509.05\nDr. Ralph Redmond, Sterling, 111------------------------------- 710.00\nMelvins Funeral Home__________________________________ 710.00\nOak Knolls Memorial Park_____________________________________ 25.00\nCecile Hoover, for meals furnished Paul H. Boyers during illness----- 1,918.00\n$5,172.70\nThe evidence shows that the claims of Dr. Ralph Redmond in the amount of $710.00, and the claim of Public Hospital of the City of Sterling in the amount of $1,509.05 were clearly necessary to relieve the decedent from the effects of his injury. Claimant is, therefore, entitled to an award in the amount of $2,219.05.\n\u25a0 An award is, therefore, made in favor of claimant for the benefit of the persons named in the amount of $2,219.05.",
