The Insurance Court dismissed the widow's claim for a family pension, ruling that her eligibility was negated by her prior marital history. Although she had been married twice and lived with her first husband until his death, the court found no qualifying children to support the pension. The decision relied on the statutory requirement that a widow must have children or meet specific age and dependency criteria to receive the benefit.
