Description
The evidence shows that decedent, Tim Murphy, had roomed and boarded at the home of claimant and her husband for a number of years at an agreed price of $40.00 per month for room, board and laundering his shirts and underwear; that in 1935 he left to reside elsewhere, subsequently became ill, and was taken to the Denver General Hospital for treatment; that after a months stay in that institution he was ordered out and, at his own request, was again removed to the home of claimant. There is evidence that on his return from the hospital he was in bed for a period approximating two months; that claimant nursed and cared for him during that time, and for this extra work she was rewarded with a payment of $50.00. In 1937 he began to fail in health and claimant at times had to nurse and care for him. Toward the end of 1938, at which time he was over 80 years of age, he spent most of his time in bed, had lost control of his functions and for the last six months of his life, which ended on June 10, 1939, had to be cared for in much the same way as would an infant.
